Euro Robbery, LeBron's Response And CWS Curse

Tuesday, June 19, 2012
Add members of the Ukrainian national soccer team and its multitude of fans at Donbass Arena to the ranks of those in favor of instant replay at Euro 2012 and other international competitions.

With his team trailing England, 1-0, in the 62nd minute in its final match in Group D, Ukranian forward Marko Devic appeared to score an equalizer. Devic received the ball on the break, turned around England defender John Terry and then fired toward the net. The ball deflected off the goalkeeper, lifting high into the air before seeming to cross the goal line. But Terry charged into the goal and cleared it out with his right foot.

The co-hosts emphatically, and with reason, called for the officials to rule the play a goal but to no avail. Needing a win to advance, Ukraine could ill afford to have any deserved scores not counted.

Replays certainly seem to show the entire ball crossing the line even if the scoreboard never did. England would hold on to win, 1-0.
