I am reminded of the time a few years ago when Denmark was playing Iran and near the end of the half a whistle blew from the stands and the Iranian player thought that it was the halftime whiltle and picked up the ball...the Danes were awarded a penalty, and the Danish player intentionally squibbed it wide stating after the game that it wouldn't be right to capatilize on that kind of mistake...the Danes lost the game 1-0...because of an act that i would guess not many other players/teams would repeat. Very classy, I love Danish Football even more because of it.
