Does anyone have a link to the video of the denied goal against Korea? Many many people I know want to make their decision on it. FIFA apparently doesn't want us to see it since their normal highlight video doesn't include it. You may use this thread for dicussing the goal as well.

How come France didnt protest more aggressively at the time?

From the post game quotes, the players said that there was no use protesting it once the referee's mind was made up. Which is a good point, who can convince a referee to call what he thinks is a no-goal into a goal?

I thought the ref could ask the linesman what he saw? The linesman if he was at the base line area had to see that the ball had crossed.

If he had seen the ball cross it would have been his duty to signal the referee over rather than wait for the referee to ask him.

There is a better, zoomed in shot of it that I recorded on my VCR. Will try to get it out there soon.
