Van Nistelrooy had better luck when he gave the Dutch the lead in hugely questionable circumstances after 26 minutes, standing in what looked like an offside position when he steered Sneijder's shot past Buffon.

Italy were furious, but the chairman of Austria's refereeing commission Gerhard Kapl later insisted that Van Nistelrooy had been played onside by Italy defender Christian Panucci, who had been injured seconds and was lying off the pitch.

He said the goal was "100% correct, without any doubt", quoting article 11.4.1. of the refereeing code that states "an opposing player cannot be offside when one of the last two defenders has left the field of play" - as in the case of Panucci.

Kapl said the rule was specifically designed to prevent a team causing a deliberate offside - but does that tell the whole story?

Madness if you ask me - it's one thing to stand by the referee but there is no way that he couldn't have been offside. The whole situation just needs a little common sense!

Fantastic game though and two brilliant counter-attacking goals by the Dutch!

Didnt that happen to us V Bolton on some free kick?

No, the players were on the pitch for that game, we just hadn't gotten use to the new rules regading interfering with play.

If I remember, Bolton had at least one player in an offside position, albeit not interfering, and we just stood there and let the onside geezer score.

I agree, it is a silly rule, but the referee couldn't have changed the rules, could he? (Swede by the way:icon_wink)

[From Gradel to Grave]

Anyone watching the Greece/Sweden game? They were passing it along the back four like they were playing for pens in the first half.

Some really dirty fouls as well. Cynical in the extreme.
