Does anyone else agree with the idiot commentators about the penalty?
I'm watching the highlights, and they keep banging on about how the rules say "deliberate handball".
Well I'm sorry, but if you use an illegal part of your body to prevent the other side from scoring, that's a foul in my book.
That's why during free-kicks and also during open play, many defenders have their arms behind their backs to prevent the ball from hitting it.

I hate Gerrard but he's the captain of one of the world's leading footballing nations that are currently ranked third in the world (rightly or wrongly, we are). What do you expect him to say: "No we're shite and will get to the last-16 or quarters if we're lucky?"
