No. Handball on the goalline is a 100% red card.

How can that be? That's a very stupid rule. It's not like his hands were in the air or that he deliberately hit the ball with his hand. The only way that ball not to hit his hand was if someone cut his hand off.

And I'm yet to see if it was handball. His hand seemed very close to his body and the ball hit the part close to his shoulder.

No, it isn't. A handball on the goalline is a red card. He has to give the red card, that's the rule.

There was an interview wtih Adidas couple of days ago and they asked about the ball and their response was that this ball was provided couple of months before WC and no one complained. Why now?!

P.S. I'm not in favor of this ball either.

I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but it's the rule. Handball on the goalline is a red card.

If a ref calls handball he says it was intentional by the way. Or, as you sometimes get when players block the ball, that they knew they were very likely to hit it with their arms.

Hand ball and direct red card ?
the referee must be Italien .

 

[giovanotti]

Ohhh man here's another debate ... was it a handball or not....

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

show me the rules, he didn't play with his hand, ball got in his hand that's it!

 

[Henry]

by the rules, if it's a handball, it's a red. That said, I don't think it was a handball. He was keeping his hands close to his body, he deserved the benefit of the doubt

You guys don't know the rules?

It's a handball on the goalline! You get sent off if you make a foul that prevents a clear chance of scoring. When the ball is goalbound and you handle it.. that's always a red card.

i missed the second replay from a better angle so i will wait and watch it again but from what i've seen his hands where not close to his body to be honest i thought it was way to his right. will check again though.

No. It can only be red or nothing. If the ref interprets it as handball, it's a red card. The only thing that's debatable here is whether or not it was handball.

 

[JuveJay]

If it's not a handball on the line it is not even a freekick, if it is a handball on the line it is a straight red card.

You give one of those two decisions if you are a ref, not the in between one because you are not quite sure.

I dont like the rule, but the ref made the right call.

 

[giovanotti]

Maybe Rossetti will realize his fault (if it was a fault) and let the Aussies to put back Kewell in the game just after HT.

Exactly. You'd think that football fans would know such a basic rule.

No. Perhaps the ref says it's not handball. But if it is, it's a red card. You have to intentionally hit the ball with your hand for it to be handball.

That's what I was saying. I don't think it was a handball, but if the ref sees a handball in the box like that it has to be a red
