Did you see it? I saw it and don't know much about soccer, but the USA
player (Donovan?) used his shoulder and elbow to "slightly" move Poland's
defender. Being a homer I would have said no harm no foul (as did the
announcer), I would really like to see what a true ref/soccer fan thought of
it. I mean if it is a rule that neither can touch each other, than there
shouldn't have been a goal. Poland's defender was as much to fault as the
American.
Personally, I didn't see Donovan use his elbow at all. It appeared to be merely shoulder-to-shoulder contact which is supposed to be allowable. Bad call, IMO.
