I don't buy the controversy. Lewandowski clearly pulled Sebastian Prodl down. Did Prodl dive? Dive Backwards? With Lewandowski's arm around him and a hand full of shirt being tugged, how can that be? It's unbiased, because I wasn't rooting for one or the other when watching. Completely objective football viewing. Was the final result harsh on Poland? Perhaps a little. They played well, but on the other hand, both sides missed good chances throughout so in reality, well, maybe the draw is highly appropriate. Besides, Roger's goal for Poland could have been disallowed as he looked to be offside. Austria started brightly and should have had at least two goals (Poland's offside trap needs to sharpen up for their match with Croatia). Oh, and Jurgen Macho (formerly of Sunderland AFC goalkeeping "fame") had a very good match, keeping his side in it with some amazing athleticism. Fun to watch the 38 year old Ivica Vastic cooly slot home the Penalty for Austria.
