Arguing technicalities is quite petty when they had no bearing on the game and saying "rules are rules" is just a copout, as the very reason rules were made is to try to make things fair, so try not to be robotic and instead use your brain to look at the actual spirit of why rules were invented in the first place and if it indeed should be applied in this case. Apparently, FIFA decided to go w the more logical decision because that's what reasonable ppl do.

Well said
That was an emotional response on his end and not a rational one
It's easier when you're unbiased and can see it as a reasonable person
The foot on the pitch clearly had no affect on the outcome

You were the one who brought up England's 1966 World Cup triumph cheapening it with your quip about how a goal should not have been. Try using your own brain better instead of making a fool of yourself comparing the resulting play of that with a match 56 years later
