The fact is though that when that amount of bodies pile into the box, a quick motion like that will be very easily missed. We saw it from one of the many cameras and in slow montion. Stand 6/8 yard backs, chuck bodies in the way, and then it happens so quickly then I doubt anyone would have seen it. The goal line assistants would also have trouble if they were on the wrong side of the goal! Which is why.....

We need video. Every game-changing even is proceeded with a break in play so it won't turn out like rugby or cricket. I can't understand why FIFA and UEFA are so resistant to it.
