re: Handball practically in the goal

No fricking way, referees are too incompetent to do this.

If refs are too incompetent for this, we have much, much bigger problems on our hands.

And worst case, if they're not sure it'd be going in if it didn't hit their hand, or they're not sure if they're on the goalline, they can still award a penalty. Only if it's completely obvious (like today, Germany 02 [had the ref seen it in the first place], etc) would the goal be awarded.
