The two expert talking heads on Swedish TV are divided on the goal. One thinks it should have been a free kick, the other thinks the ref was right.

Personally, I wanted to see the goal disallowed.

But, I am biased :-)

I really think it should have stood. The goalie rushed out, flapped like a bird, and bumped into the Japanese player, who was playing the ball. Two field players, it wouldn't have been a foul. The Aussie keeper came out too. If the Japanese player had run down the keeper it would have been a clear foul.

It's really a judgement call on this one. If I was the ref, I would have allowed the goal, and prepared for years of hate mail from down under.
