I already did days ago but removed them as I needed the space on my photo hosting site. In any case if the ball is 'behind' the post as it is moving from right to left as we see it, which must be the case as it was the shot from behind the posts any before or after frame is irrelevent, the ball cannot swerve back around 180 degrees and re-appear 'in front' of the post and carry on moving left as viewed from behind the posts.
If you bother to check the video footage, put it into full screen and do a frame by frame pause, grab the image it's obvious even without any fancy processing that the ball was obscured by the post as soon as it started to slide past it. By definition this means the ball travelled outside of the right upright (left post as seen from behind)and went wide.
it is not physically possible for the ball to be obscured at that juncture, pop out still partially hidden as it continues to go wide past the upright and then do the 180degree about face and start a completely new trajectory. okay, maybe an almighty gust of wind or a 'hand of god' but again this never occured.

We are talking about it because a critical error was made by a match official that has a direct impact on our national teams chances of reaching the final. this error was denied by those in the hierachy and the mistake perpetuated by lies from the host broadcaster.
