YouTube - 1899 Hoffenheim - FC Bayern München - Highlights 08/08/09

In yesterday's Bundesliga match between Bayern Munich (red) and Hoffenheim (blue),
Bayern's goalkeeper Michael Rensing saved a corner kick in the 12th minute which bounced off the far post. Replays clearly show the ball was across the line, and Rensing scooped the ball out of the goal. The goal was not given

Hoffenheim appealed to the referee, but the referee would not even consult his assistant.

The play in question happens at 1:05 of this clip.

The game ended in a 1-1 draw.

Bruce, it will never happen with those corrupt jerks running fifa; with video, how are they possibly going to control the outcome of a game? Okay, that may be a bit much, but you'd have to be crazy to trust those thugs.
