Best I return to enjoying the game then . Haven't seen the new angle. With that one in mind, which was the only available until the end of the game, I maintain calling it clear-cut is going extreme lengths as well.
Is his shoulder out of its socket? Look where the elbow is in relation to the ball. It's hitting the inside of his arm. The BBC just put a clear shot of the ball cradled in the guy's arm. You're going to extraordinary lengths to try to get away from the fact it's a clear, stonewall handball and he was rightly booked by Webb.
Yep, best angleIt looked it hit the arm from the angle the BBC just showed. Trapped it between his arm and chest.
Texas?
I'm talking about this:
Best frame I could get, extremely bent shoulder, and the ball is in no way clearly touching the arm. Seems like a shoulder/chest catch to me. It is controversial.
How is that not a red?
Hansen " you want Brazil to go through ya know.."
Lineker "yeah.. You want the host nation to go through.. I don't know what this place will be like if they don't get through.."
Good god.
Texas?
Yep, best angle
No booking. Fair challenge
#2.....Studs up - either it's a red always or never

Some of you have never ever played football have youShould have been a red card. You can't go studs up against a goalkeeper like that.
Compare that to the Valencia challenge. Looks even more ridiculous now.Should have been a red card. You can't go studs up against a goalkeeper like that.
