To say that Hungarian soccer referee Viktor Kassai isn’t the most popular man in Ukraine right now would be a euphemism after he made a bad call in the match that sent Ukraine’s national team out of the European soccer championship the country is co-hosting.
Ukraine lost its final group D match
1:0 to England Tuesday night. The English goal came early in the second
period from a close-range header by Wayne Rooney. The critical moment
of the match arrived in the 63rd minute when Ukrainian
striker Marko Devic’s shot was sailing towards the back of the net after
taking a deflection on the goalkeeper Joe Hart. England defender John
Terry scooped it out, but the replays clearly showed that the ball was
inside the goal by the time he had reached it.
