That's never called a foul on keepers. He punched the ball before he touched Higauin. The keeper is allowed to do that in their own box always. Higauin new that was coming, the foul was called because he undercut the keeper which is not allowed in the box. Players are not allowed to challenge the keeper like that on 50/50 balls however silly the rule is.

That's how keepers are taught, jump up with knee in the air to protect yourself.

Wasn't a foul in my book.

thats when you jump horizontal not into a challenge at full speed, like i said you are crazy to think that was ok

Great play from Aguero.

 

[Cronios]

aunt merkel's presence in the stands is taking its toll...

They are more cautious now, a goal is basically a match winner.

Messi 85.

Another briliant signing from Wenger.

It was reckless and that's not allowed.

It was in the box and he got the ball. I wouldn't have called a foul IMO.

 

[JCK]

Rizzoli is not being lenient at all.

 

[Eddy]

we need some riquelme up in this bitch

Messi invisible right now, the goal is coming.

I dont know how anyone can defend that challenge.

 

[Cronios]

axe-rano was lucky, that could have been a red...

 

[JCK]

The game is getting Messy(i)

 

[Salvo]

Taking of Lavezzi was such a bad choice.

Taking of Lavezzi was such a bad choice.

As the Swedish commentators said (they usually provide me wrong statistics) it was a muscle problem.

 

[Cronios]

i have a feeling that Argentine would benefit from Tevez right now...

This. No ref ever calls that foul on the keeper. Players are not allowed to challenge the keeper like that on a 50/50 ball in the box. Neuer got to the ball before Higauin, and Higauon ran into the contact. Hence the reason for the fk given. The rule may be silly in allowing keepers to be reckless like that, but it is what it is.

Why has Löwe kept Özil so far?

Were they the ones who said the World Cup final statistic?
