    I looked at it again on slo-mo. Looks incidental to me. Indeed not even a penalty, let alone a send off. I saw no motion suggestive of trying to stop that rocket shot. Arm moves forward by reflex after being hit by a rocket shot like that. I see it as a ref blunder, yet another one. Horrible, horrible refs. At least this one is letting them play. Howeve ...[text shortened]... , giving too much leeway to ref's myopic vision, ref indeed within the rule. NO argument there.
    We'll have to disagree then. 🙂

    Absolutely! As do the commentators at ESPN. Do you get your feed from BBC? I assume you're in Portugal? Own television system I imagine or do you do both local and BBC? We have been blessed with excellent commentators on ESPN. Lots of Brits offering sober analysis. I'm especially fond of the Scot, whose name escapes me. McSomething!

    Another draw 1 all.

    Draws are in vogue.

    Didn't hear any booing in this drawn game.

    But you are Portuguese or simply a Portugal sympathyzer? I figured there was a reason behind you excellent and impeccable English. Entertaiing game this one. Socceroos played their hearts out a man down and deserved the win, but failed to score. Better luck next game for them.
