still say it was a flop. Ball was already over the line when he came down. My defender went in after the ball went by then ran into my defender and flopped. Saw it a few yards away and will stand by my opinion.

Regs (and Berg), the redheaded kid for WV in the middle of the park is Alan McIndoe. Ex-Cap College kid. He missed the cup games because he fell out of a tree.
I am serious.
Drew got the ball, the player fell over him after the fact, embellished it, and the ref seized the opportunity to make a display very late in the second overtime session.

ya the footage shows how "he got the ball" reeeeeeeally well LOL
this is a peno in every single way. bottom line.
I've got to admit from that angle it does look like a PK.....and that's basically the angle Kevin had. So I can understand him calling a PK.
He obviously thought it was no doubt a PK as I would hate to think he would call a PK with 8mins left in the cup final that he wasn't totally sure about.
From my angle, just coming across the 6 yd box (the next defender coming across), and having a good look, same as 29 did, as well as all the croatian's, inter guys and others at the corner flag and behind the net it was a clear dive.
But from the angle there, yes it does look like a PK, especially at full speed. Some decisions go your way and some decisions don't. Of course, we feel like we got screwed, but as has been said, had it been the other way around, we would want that call too.
Yes, our defender shouldn't have gone to ground like that, but that's also easy to say after watching it 5-10 times, at the time, he obviously thought he could get the ball, and would say now he should have stayed on his feet.
The linesman running across right after all this and telling me yes it was a dive, means he obviously saw what we all saw. But Kevin isn't going to change the call at that point.
The fact that Angus said right after ya I took a dive and laughed about it, makes it a bit worse, but u see it everyday in soccer games, forwards are going to do what they have to do to get the calls.
Bottom line, it sucks losing on a PK in OT, but it happend, so we move on and get on with things and we will get over it!
End of fckin story!

Sorry Laylow. I never said I took a dive, I never would. Please do not make up things. Anyways GL in provincials.
So you didn't tell some guys on my team u took the dive? Or Inter guys after the game? I guess they're all lying then.
Good luck in provincials...
You should be mad at your defender. It was in the heat of the moment but then again at that level all players have to know that a slide tackle in the box like that could be disastrous. Why slide when it is a done play? Granted it 'd be classless to attack a team mate for an error but he basically did you in on that one.
