It was, what, four minutes into stoppage time?

Yeah, what a header it was.

Now, this has been a big talking point over here on the Saturday.

The Swiss opener, which came about when the Qatari keeper, let's get his name right, Mahmoud Abou-Nader,

clattered into Rumor Freuler.

However, after the penalty kick had been assigned, we all saw the replay and went, yeah, this is going to be rescinded.

He's clearly offside.

This is what FIFA came up with many, many, many hours later because they never did the thing of drawing the line.

Fair enough, they said the machine wasn't powered up or something, that the check had gone through, but they didn't have the machine with the lines on it.

Jimmy Hill right okay and there to be fair it looks like Froehler is on side that's not the moment of play that we saw on the replay which made us think was offside but you know what it happened and you know there are those of us who don't even like VAR who would have said yeah fair enough that's that's just part of football so beyond the fact that maybe the penalty should have been called back for an offside did Switzerland deserve more than a point in this game

Part of the reason for that was the performance of Mahmoud Abou Nader, who, after clattering his head against Freuler in the build-up to that penalty, then pulled off a string of saves and was named Man of the Match.
