For those saying it was a foul, or possibly even a sending off.

Given that Nueur got the ball when it was behind Higuain I'd argue the latter got there firstThanks for the link. Looks like dangerous play from the keeper, although you could argue it's 2 players going for a 50/50 ball and one getting there first. If an outfield player wins the ball with a raised leg, what would the referee do?
Get sent offFor those saying it was a foul, or possibly even a sending off.

Difficult one for the referee.Given that Nueur got the ball when it was behind Higuain I'd argue the latter got there first
Certainly, he's entitled to get it wrongDifficult one for the referee.
And if he hadn't he'd have ended up with nee heed. Wouldn't exactly call it bottling it.In all fairness fletcher totally bottled that
Is it ok for a player to lead with a elbow? Do why can a keeper lead with his knee in the face I'm not talking about jumping with one up for protection I'm talking about jumping with it towards someone's face, he should of either kept knee down or not went for the ball he didn't even need to he was wide and on edge of the box it's was a totally wreckless and irresponsible challengeHow should the keeper have approached the challenge?

So how do you explain the other side of the coin when it is suggested that if a defender *puts his leg there* it gives the forward the opportunity to go down.For those saying it was a foul, or possibly even a sending off.

He didn't need to raise his knee that wasn't natural at allGRAHAM POLL'S VERDICT
Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli came up with a baffling decision early in the second half when Manuel Neuer clashed with Gonzalo Higuain.
The Germany goalkeeper had every right to go for the ball with his fist, made a clean connection and his follow-through was natural. He inadvertently cleaned out Higuain but there was no case for a penalty.
For some observers it may have brought back memories of West German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher’s awful challenge on Patrick Battiston of France in a 1982 semi-final (above). But it was nothing like it for dangerous play.
However, why Rizzoli decided to award Germany a free-kick was a mystery.
A throw-in to Argentina would have been the right choice.
