I would say yes it's a definite penalty and a great result for the Socceroos

 

[Bear]

No defender behind the keeper, took the player out, def penalty and def red

_That_ is a Jesus worth worshipping.....

But you've seen those given as free kicks outside the box and I'm not sure there was a clear goalscoring opp either.

Still, we'll take it

 

[MrCelery]

Still, we'll take it

  Indeed

Feel a bit sorry for the keeper though. Red card for what I thought was a genuine attempt at the ball.

 

[MrCelery]

As for their goal. We paid the penalty for letting a Dutchman stand on our penalty spot with not a defender in sight. Not exactly international standard defending.

 

[Bear]

cant get much clearer than almost straight in front of goal from 18 yards out IMO

but like you said, ill take it

Thats how football goes but it gets worse for him asm he misses the World Cup Qualifier against Macedonia who defeated Scotland last night so thats a vital game for the dutch away from home!

I thought reds in friendlies didn't carry over (eg. Wilkshire's red against Dutch before 06 World Cup)

It did he was suspended against Licenstein

Don't let the penalty debate overshadow the result. We certainly deserved a goal at that stage and had played quite well. Hopefully they can carry that into the Uzbekistan game.

Reds in friendlies only count for other friendlies
