The penalty WASNT a penalty. BUT the turksish should have been sent off, if u take a look at the rules of soccer, "if the last man of the defence hit the opposite player and stop the play, making a foul, he must be sent off as he stopped the progress of a goal-chance play"
The guy who shot the ball should have received a yellow card, just like Rivaldo, but as the turkish guy already had an yellow card he should have been sent off...so Rivaldo's acting could have only resulted in a yellow card for him, as the turkish guy had to be sent off whatever was the reaction of Rivaldo.
If u guys want to complain at something u should focus at the penalty that didnt happened, it was outside the area.
And about the previous post that said something about "its of common use in the south-america this kind of cheating" any of u remember that world cup that England, i may be wrong about the team who won, beat Germany in the final with a goal that didnt happened - the ball
hit the post then hit the goal-line and didnt enter - so before u make a statement make sure it's a fair one and don't forget to look at ur own mistakes bfore pointing at other people flaws.
Thanks, by the way i voted it IS cheating, even tho it's of common use ALL over the globe.
