Grosics' claim is right !

Having wathched the FIFA Official film of 1954 World Cup, I am convinced and am sure that anyone would agree that Hungary was cheated. As per football rule, when a goalkeeper jumps to pick up a ball in his box, an opponent player can't even touch any part of his person. If that happens it would be regarded as a foul. The action replay of the Final match clearly shows that during the second German goal, an air-borne Grosics was put down and later held up by Hans Schafer. But the referee and linesman overlooked. According to the rule of the game, this 'goal' should stand void and invalid. The "Magical Magyars" were simply robbed of their deserved prize on a rain-soaked day in Berne.
