Although if De Gea had got to it, he might still have let it slip through his fingers.

Yeah well, he did have a "greased rugby ball in a rainstorm" moment the other night, didn't he?

What is it with Brazil and defending set pieces.

Only saw the replay but wasn't that a clear push on the Brazilian defender by the Swiss player?

To me it looked like the Swiss chap was merely using the Brazilian to find his balance before jumping for the header.

Was no worse than the usual jostling in the penalty area. IMHO the brazilian player made a meal of it - as they are wont to do. It's one of the reasons I don't go gaga over brazilian football.

Remember the chap who got someone sent off by falling down as if he'd been shot when there'd been no contact at all?

 

[Dayvo]

So WTF wasn't that a penalty???
