It was 1-1 at half time. It shows that Zagreb actually tried in the first half. Then the manager must have told them to start playing worse because he's getting a shit load of cash from Lyon. So then we have 4 goals in 15 minutes... doesn't sound too legitimate to me.

About your photo: hard to tell if the ball crossed the line completely. The angle sucks.

Originally posted by LikeASong:I think that ball isn't on the ground, it must be something like one feet above the line. I think it's crossed the line but it's not that obvious, the angle is shit. I don't know what teams you're talking about or taking sides, I coudln't care less actually

I know full well the ball is on the ground because the goalkeeper puts it there with his hand and immediately rolls the ball out of the net. A foot off the ground? Absolutely not. It did cross the line, the goal was given and as a result it became 2-1 to Basel. Not 3-0 as the image quite clearly suggests. The angle may well be shit when it comes to judging the the decision, if I wanted a discussion regarding the goal I'd have posted an image from the goal line camera. Since I posted the image to display the incorrect scoreline that remained unchanged throughout the rest of the highlights, I am not taking sides with anyone.

EDIT: Maybe this will settle the nonsensical discussion.
