No pen given.

To be fair, the picture is a little hazy, so i can see why it wasnt given.

incredible.

[Kenneth]

So what happened there then?

[rodo]

Equatorial Guinea defender Bruna grabbed it with both hands, held it and then casually dropped it again and – most amazingly – avoided conceding a penalty.

[MrsB]

Aye, crystal clear penalty. Very odd.

i am right in thinking the referee is at the match and didnt have to watch it on hazy youtube footage?

if so crystal clear penalty

perhaps its one of those things you cant believe you saw so you ignore it

[ChesterDave]

How the hell has the referee explained that failure away. Neither the ref or the assistant could spot that? Shoot them both.

[Kenneth]

The ref obviously saw it, but thought the poor dear had got a bit confused and let her off. Don't forget, this isn't real football we're talking about.

I see that and think of what slam Dunc said about the African players not knowing the rules. At least the ref came out and apologised, but should surely be dropped for rest of tournament.
