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.

French betting authority probe Lyon-Zagreb result
(AFP) – 1 hour ago

PARIS — French online gaming authority (ARJEL) has opened a probe into the 7-1 victory by Lyon in their Champions League game against Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb, a spokesman told AFP on Thursday.
ARJEL is "currently carrying out checks" on the match in Zagreb on Wednesday night which gave the French side a surprise ticket to the last 16 of the competition at the expense of Dutch side Ajax.
It was a remarkable rescue for Lyon who went into their final Group D game three points behind Ajax and needing to make up a goal difference of seven if they were to reach the knockout rounds.
French international striker Bafetimbi Gomis was the star of the show, scoring four goals, including the fastest ever Champions League hat-trick as Lyon took second place in the group.
