I think you are overstating how obvious it was that he was off his line. I would imagine that if we examined any peno shootout since this rule was brought in, there would be evidence of a keeper infringing in the same manner The fact that people aren't grasping it would suggest otherwise. It was one of the most blatant examples in my time watching football.

Anyway, I'll be watching how keepers move with interest in future shootouts to see if this rule is enforced as strictly.

I still have no idea how any can say he was definitively off his line for this penalty. It is exceptionally tight, and I would tend to agree with MC thoughts on Corcorans feet touching the line. If that's wrong, it's still very tight. It's being painted here as if it's absolutely blatant. It clearly is not when viewed slowed down. I mentioned this yesterday, Dudeks save on Pirlos penalty in the 05 CL. Now that is an example of a keeper clearly cheating. It's actually comical how bad it was when you look at it. Corcorans save isn't in the same world as an example like that.

They should change the laws of penos. When the whistle blows the keeper can run off his line, the player can take several touches but only has 5 seconds.

How many times have you rewatched it to make it so blatantly obvious ?

The defending goalkeeper must remain on the goal line, facing the kicker, between the goalposts until the ball has been kicked.AGAIN I don't mean to be a pain but above is what Laws of the Game says. Once lino put up flag for keeper off line referee had absolutely no choice but retake and second caution.

ProudandLoud, what do you make of the photos of Corcorans position as the Dutch player strikes the ball?
