It's not a case of people not understanding, if handballs like that on the line were not given then there would be an awful lot of silliness.
That being said, have seen more blatant ones not given.
Also, I felt Australia responded a lot better to being a man down than last time, especially after the break.

Yeah agree with this.
If the rules say that was not a penalty then the rule needs changing.
Can sympathise with Kewell over the red card but would have to see it again, not sure if their was any intent.
Australia responded well anyway, massive wasted oportunity for Ghana though.
