Smithy was talking about a trip. I don't see one in that clip other than he tripped himself. If there is another replay then I would love to see it (and be corrected)
I seen a replay where he moved his foot back to put power into the strike and going for the strike his striking foot (was still behind him) clipped the ivory coast defenders leg, probably causing him to then go on, hit the ground with his foot and trip over.
i think its incredibly unlucky and a little harsh but he did cause the player to trip. Does this mean that a player can deliberatly put their leg back in action of striking the ball, to attract contact and get a penalty?
the replay i saw was on the official Fifa website highlights package if you want to see it.
