I can't believe that in a game/sport where full-blown punching took place in front of the referee, a penalty was given for the slightest of trips, which could easily have been accidental, and looked far from an obvious trip, and obstruction (turning your back on the player). 😆 . But come on 😱, that "trip" would have been missed by many a soccer referee.
Its like the refs. assignment from the word go was to protect the SA'an interest, as they were undisputedly the best team in the tournament up to that point, and make sealing a victory as difficult as possible for England. It's like England were being told, they needed to do something extra-ordinary if they wanted to seal the championship.
