Was just making a point that the psychological effects of a goal/no-goal go both ways. No point in crying about bad goals or no goals because you can't change the fact.

Hell, if the goal had counted the Germans could have been pissed that they let a Sunday Pub team score on them and really slaughter them!

Mexico shot themselves in the foot, with the help of video review, because they exploded about the bad call and that messed up their first half. The realistic score of the match was 3-1, not 1-1, because they got all stupid because of the bad call. Ref's can't really call back a goal afterwords, and even if they can(can they?)it's very uncommon because of the fact there is no video review so they can't go over the goal again. Teams have to know that, yet they freak out over bad calls and go insane because of it so they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.
