If you kill someone unintentionally, you still do time;

I agree with Robbynice! You do not pick up the ball if the ref hasn't blown!

I've replayed that part of the game several times and it was a very cose call. I dont think Kanu tripped the guy...but Kanu must have probably hacked him while he was overtaking him.

On the other hand, assuming Kanu was the defender and he fell in the box, do u think the ref wud have given him a card for diving?

Finally, i think the ref did a good job...do u realise that there was no card in the game?

Which angle(s) did you watch it from? You can't confidently tell us he was not pushed till you see it from overhead and underneath angles

H held on to the bal when the ref had not stopped play... there was only one logical way to resume play ..with a penalty kick

Word!

He held the ball in anticipation of a call and the call didn't come. The only logical way to start play was for a penalty to be taken. No two way about it.

Ol'boy this na story story. IMO Kanu did not touch the guy but let just even assume that Kanu did touch the guy the bottom line remains that the ref didn't stop play and the South African didn't have the right to grap the ball. It is as simple as that.

Suya: "intent" does not come into configuration when there was no foul in the first place. The hall marks of every professional is to wait for the whistle fro the Ref before making conclusion. Btw, something of this nature cost Udeze is professional contract with WBA

how the defender got infront of Kanu is still a mystery

Intentional handling of ball in the box = penalty

The SA defender handled the ball in the box intentionally. It doesn't matter if he thought he was fouled and therefore expected the ref's whistle.

From the point of view of the rule book, this is the same as a defender from Team A performing a volleyball like blocking movement with both arms to stop a Team B's striker's shot from going inside team A's net.

Intentional handling. Hand to ball. In the box, to boot. Piooo! Penal.

No two ways about it.

Is it part of FIFA rules that a guy from a different continent can officiate in a continental tournament like the ANC. Can an Argentine referee be deployed to officiate a game in a Euro Cup like, say, Euro 2004? If CAF has to import referees for the ANC then, I would rather they pick them from Europe and South America.

Ijapa,

Either you are blind or you are lying. Kanu tripped the guy's foot. He did not push him with his hand but he clipped the guy's left leg with his left leg. That is what I saw....

It is not going to change anything so I don't understand why some people cannot be honest.
