Appeals Committee. Disputed situations in tournaments.

The most annoying thing is the far-fetched comparisons.
Even after Maradona's handball goal, the English could have still equalized, although it wouldn't have been easy, but they still could have.
But what if someone had shot the English team from the stands – and not just some random guy, but the Argentinian coach himself – would they have awarded Argentina the victory? Because you won't find the word "machine gun" in the RULES OF FOOTBALL... although, of course, the coach would have been put in jail for 15 days for disturbing the peace, but what wouldn't you do for a semi-final spot?)))
That's a more or less adequate analogy to this "well-known feature."
