Therein lies the problem. If that is actually a foul, that's pathetic. Slight touch (if that), Greek player taps his own feet together and the entire tournament changes. Penalties need to be better decided upon. That "foul" might have prevented a shot, but it did not prevent a scoring chance.
If it's not a foul, Cote D'Ivoire is out because a guy tripped over himself but made sure to look like he got shot to "earn" a penalty. Either scenario is absurd to most North American sports fans.
