Really....and do tell me when that rule was defined ;)
If you want the exacts, the ball was 16cm wide, and in 1995 the oxford study showed it was 6cm from being fully past the line. So you're right, by modern rules it was not a goal, but in those days the ruling of a goal was open to the refs decision and interpretation of the rules, and he said it was a goal so it was. |
Post your references as i have posted mine. Otherwise you're just talking out of your ass. And today a goal is open to a refs interpretation, so by your acclaim, Englands goal on sunday's match was definatley "not" a goal due to the referee's claim and thus the game was played fair and standard.
It wasn't a goal in 1966 and it was a goal on sunday's game by definition of the balls positioning.
Although the referee's calls stand due to the rules of the game, i am simply speaking of ball positioning, the actuality of the game, not the interpretation.
edit: yes i saw the 6cm. regardless. No goal. |

That's good for Holland, isn't it? The Deutschlanders won a bunch of titles and the Netherlanders never got anything. If they switch positions, then there's a very good chance de Oranje will reach the finals! |
Yep, seems like they learned how to be effective instead of beautiful (while Germany learned to be beautiful). Recent example was Euro 2008, when Holland trashed Italy and France like they were some ameteur third world team (oh wait, I guess after this WC they are! :stongue: ) and everyone, me included, was convinced that absolutely nothing could stop them... then losing with a terrible performance against Russia.
Take Germany at the WC 2002 as a contrast, playing a rather unimpressing group stage, then winning every game 1-0 (strategy: play ty, randomly score somehow and let Kahn alone keep the own goal clean) and reaching the final, which was their only decent performance in the whole tournament, losing 0-2 to Brazil. |

Kaka is the German children's version of poo-poo, and some infantile part of me always laughs when his name is mentioned.

I love the delay in the transmission of my cable TV provider. I always know Brazil scored a few seconds before I see the ball reach the goal :p

Same in Portuguese. That's why there's an acute sign on the last "a". His name is "Kakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" not "Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaka" :) |

Same in Russian and other languages. How unfortunate.
FIFA finally found a fix for all the problems: stop showing replays on big screens! |
