That's a pen for Postiga. Ref books him for diving.

Do Portugal go above Denmark in the rankings if they win?

He didn't touch the ball with any part of his body. If Bosnia go through it's a bigger ***** that ROI v France.

What? Dzeko flicked it on and it hit Coentrao's arm which was flailing around above his head. I thought pen in real time, good decision from the linesman IMO.

A little bit of hyperbole here.
Probably should be 3-1 Portugal, but Bosnia probably deserve one.

Wow Portugal got jewed pretty hard in the last 5 min. Ref books port. Guy for diving when it was an obv pk at one end, then couple min later gives a pretty soft handball pk to bosnia. I think it was the right call but soft nonetheless

Are you sure? Looked like it didn't touch his arm from what I saw! (Note: I'm watching on espn3 stream).

It 100% hit his arm. When your arm is up there and you make contact with the ball then it's a stonewall pen.

Nothing in the rules on how hard it has to hit your arm.

That part we cannot be sure of, but Postiga dove and was halfway on the ground before his back foot was caught as he trailed it behind.

I'm watching the espn3 stream too, I think u might have missed the first replay where it was very obv it touched his hand, but the second one was very non conclusive, I can see y u think it was a bad call if u only saw the second angle they showed

On one angle it looks like a lot of contact on his arm, the other it looks like just a little. The thing is, it doesn't matter how much contact there is. Next time don't jump for a header and put your arm straight above your head, you're asking for it.

In real time I thought it was clearly a PK.

I would be more inclined to call it a fantastic decision from the linesman. He was the one that gave it, not the referee.

enjoying the highlights and random crowd shots much more than terrible analysis that usually accompanies soccer matches. Also the great music - Wham baby.

They played 3 days ago in England and now they are in Costa Rica.Probably jet lagged.But a friendly remains a friendly and biggest goal remains to avoid injuries.Spain hasn`t lost an official match in ages so i doubt they are worried over a few friendlies
Argentina though should be worried.They aren`t doing very well in the WC qualies
