Would that have been the biggest World Cup blunder of all time?

Besides the 2006 red card for Zidane.

They added 9 minutes to stoppage time. It was at the 99th minute. Portugal is up 3-2.

Ghana takes a shot and the Portugal goalie stops and lays on the ball to burn some time.

One Ghana player is behind the goalie chilling.

Portugal goalie let's the box clear out and then he places the ball on the ground to run up and kick it. The Ghana guy runs up to steal the ball from behind him and slips when he gets to the ball.

The goalie had given it a good little roll, too, so the Ghana player had plenty of room to make it happen. Slipped and fell, and then a defender who had seen it happening kept him from getting it after he got up.

If he doesn’t slip that is an easy goal. The last 20-30 minutes of that game was wild.

I feel like the keep fouled him. That’s just me though I guess…
