    Everyone has heard or seen the match with Australia v Croatia. Simunic got three yellow cards but was sometime before he was sent off. What would happen if he scored the winning goal and never got sent off like he should have been after the two yellows.

    Australia would definitely have protested the final result and a replay would probably have been awarded. The logistics of a replay would be a nightmare though.

    Was talking about that during the game. I reckon Australia would have been given a win. Simunic was as much at fault as Poll, he knew he had gotten two yellows and still played on.

    The Rte website has a report on the affair - Blatter states that Oz would have pushed for a replay and they would have got it.

    ^ easy to say that in hindsight and when the situation hasnt arisen. Had the Croats went on to win, i would imagine it would have been tough titty Ozzies.

    Just heard on the news that FIFA stated that if Crotia had of won the Aussies would have had a very strong case for a replay

    I don't think a result change would have been the outcome. As for Simunic not leaving the pitch and being as much at fault as Mr Poll, as far as I'm aware a player is not obliged to leave the field of play until a red card is shown.

    Yep I agree with this outcome. It's grand for Blatter to say he would have done the honourable thing and given a replay seeing as he didn't have to.
