Ignore the fall. The keeper was deliberately blocked off. The German player ignored the ball and was only intent on stopping the keeper from getting to it.

More entertaining than the match.

If only the Germans had a word for schadenfreude.

These commentators seem to have a strong pro Germany bias.

Meh. Keeper was deliberately blocked.

For a moment there I thought it was the start of a joke 😒 -
"Hoist with his own petard" is a quote from Hamlet. In this instance a Petard is a small explosive device, a type of bomb. The name ultimately derives from the French for fart, as you have said.

You have to ask yourself 'who kicked whom'

More like League one.

Not a penalty. Foul to South Africa. It was their defender that got kicked.
-
For the benefit of clarity, I wasn't being serious.
-
We only had ten minutes to prepare for it.
-
The punishment was excessive.

The only time that they don't take a touch first is when they're in plenty of space andvthey ping the ball straight back to the defence.
