| Campbells goal WASNT a goal, John Terry had his arm around the goalkeeper. Terry didnt meant to do it, I know, but still, within that 6 yard box the goalkeepers actions are SACRED, its a rule. If any small little thing happens to put the goalkeeper off from getting to the ball, its a definate foul.
And this was more than a small little thing, Terry prevented the goalkeeper from jumping, if Terrys arm wasnt around the goalkeeper he would've been able to jump up and easily get his hands to the ball before Campbells head, and even if he couldnt, it was a foul anyway. Boo-hoo for Campbell.
Now, I must be the only person I know who was watching it on the UN-biased Eurosport channel, and unlike BBC, it interviewed referee's and officials and I think EVERYONE admitted that there was no goal, even Colline the worlds best referee. Gary Lineker just slightly mentioned "I think the referee just mighta saw Terrys arm right there..." And then the 3 commentators went quiet, and then they changed the subject.
Of course Ian Wright went on to bitch about it more before the program was over, it wasnt a goal, and the English broadcasters want the nation to feel like they were unlucky. Portugal won, deservadly. |
