Yay! We get to see Maradonna in the WC. Is he the new Mourinho? I mean, of course, without the actual skills.

Well I'm now reduced to hoping Bosnia qualify, the manager is our legendary one from '98.

@Tyr: awesome, thanks for the link - though that ginger prat is a marked man now.

Liverpool's fault. The goalie should have cleared it before that happened.

Yep, I'd probally be saying something different were the shoe on the other foot but...goals caused by bits of dirt sticking up and the like happen all the time. Its part of the keepers job to ensure theres no dogy bits of earth around the goal. This is a logical extension.
Apparently though hidden away in the rule book is that if the ball hits a foreign object it should be a drop kick there.
I'm just glad a shitty decision went in favour of my team instead of against it as they usually do. i.e. in that particular game the 7 minutes of injury time....

It's a tough call, perhaps. Depending on the interpretation of the rules.

I think the rules state that if there is an outside interference, "the game has to be stopped."

The ref should have stopped the game or motioned to Reina to clear the beachball away. But he let the play continue so the goal should stand.

I haven't heard anything about Benitez going ape shit about it.

Well the last time the goalie started getting rid of foreign objects in the box (a load of balloons), that also ended up in a goal.  :lol:

He hasn't been. Liverpool were shit, even if the goal they actually lost by was one that should have been disallowed under a strict interpretation of the rules.

I hope the Saudis buy into the club and let Benitez have some money. On the other hand, they seem to be buying Gillette's share, when it is Hicks who should be the one leaving the club. :mad:

That's precisely an argument FOR Maradona. Hilarious nervous breakdown FTW! :D
