the goalkeeper here MUST have seen the ball<\/span> bouncing way inside the goalline.
\nit was not just a few inches this way or that
\nit was in by almost half a yard!<\/p>\n

\n\"Manuel<\/a><\/p>\n

it was so obvious
\nwhy could he not admit that he had been beaten?<\/span><\/p>\n

all he had to do was
\npick up the ball and place it behind the line to confirm the goal.<\/p>\n

i ask,
\nif he had done it,
\nwould he have been a fool?
\nwould anyone ever mocked him for it?
\nmore importantly, if they had eventually lost,
\nwould any of his countrymen ever blamed him for being honest?<\/p>\n

now in his mind he must know he was truly beaten
\nperhaps he admits it to his conscience too.<\/p>\n

had the goal been allowed, it could have changed the outcome of the match.
\nthat is the only doubt that will remain for ever
\nfor no one can ever doubt it was a goal<\/p>\n

do we really need more technology in sport
\nif the players themselves can be honest and admit their mistakes or having been beaten?<\/p>\n

where is then the morality in sport?
\nwhere is fair play?<\/span><\/p>\n
