Why are you guys ignoring the offside guy before the no goal call? I am confused, haha.
It's one thing if the referees are not able to see an offside pass, it's a completely different thing if they aren't able to tell the one thing the whole game is about.

That stuff like this can happen is an embarrassment.
 
Hand ball, should have been a penalty kick:

Ball over the line, should have been a Ukranian goal:

It could be Ukraine 2 England 1 right now.
I'm sure the British media will be all over this... especially considering Ukraine won't get destroyed 4-1.

No, it should still be 1-1. The run leading up to the second goal was offside, meaning that it wouldn't count anyway.

Btw, I recommend following this guy: @2010MisterChip, he normally tweets only in Spanish, but during the Euro he's doing it in English too.

That stuff like this can happen is embarrassing for the whole sport.

I see your point.

But it seems that specific sequence evened itself out, by bad reffing x2.

This is not about Ukraine being robbed (they didn't, guy was offside). It's about FIFA/UEFA's officials and/or ineptitude at keeping up with the game because of stupid decisions from the top.

Of course... it's not like they were thoroughly outplayed by a far more talented team as the English ran around like chickens with their heads cut off with no concept of tactics.
