Saw this on Facebook.

Some say that Vlaar penalty might have crossed the line.
Hah

Doesn't look like it went over the line even from that angle, and there's a linesman right on the goal line looking, and the main ref seems to be looking at the ball. And some ref eventually went to pick up that ball to give it to the next shooter, at which point he would absolutely have noticed if it was over the goal line. Plus there's thousands of people right behind that goal line. And there's the whole Dutch team looking. And that's forgetting they have the goal line technology to tell the difference now, which is automated and would have buzzed the ref had the ball actually crossed the line.

And NOW someone says it might have crossed? Pretty weak.

EDIT:
Oh, and it totally hits his shoulder too
