Balsa,

Fifa is going to obviously try to back up their officials.

I can probably find many links on saying how it was offside.
Watching ESPN on TSN late last night, and all three analysts were saying it was offside.

Buffon came down on his player pretty hard, and shoved him aside, probably not even knowing that it was his own. .. and stupidly punched the ball to the top of the 18.

there is know way that was on purpose, it happened pretty fast, and was not purposely off the field.

But what was Panucci doing, as the shot was going wide, he could have pushed it off for a corner, not back to the top.

That goal did change the game. I don't understand how that is even questionable to players who know the game.
