Yes, but the referee had awarded the goal before he consulted with the linesman and saw the replay. That's why the goal stayed. Not that it would have made any difference. Same thing Eng/Ger, it would have made no difference, you lost. And by the way, the rules are what the rules are and they are the same for both teams. So no case weeping when they go against your team. Just bad luck, take it with a stiff upper lip. Now it's Saturday, Argentina vs. Germany. We'll see. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
