:::::The consensus against it was weak, but existed: the consensus on the talk page to include extra detail was non-existent.  The claim that it was "diiferent than any other penalty" is extraordinary: handball on the line happens several times in a season.  I didn't say that it was "insignificant", but that it was ultimately less significant than either of the goals that were scored: FIFA seem to agree.  As you suggest, memorability is POV, and the more that is said about the incident, the more the validity of an opinion justifying extraordinary inclusion is open to challenge.  Comment after the match was about the inability of the rules to acheive what people perceived as justice, but the controversy was not about the way it was dealt with in that game: the incident was dealt with absolutely properly.  Would there be any great interest in including it if it were not so recent?  Brief reference here, fuller detail in the fuller articles (knockout stage, Ghana at the World Cup, Uruguay at the WC): how many fouls can you find described in detail in other WCs?  It would need evidence of widespread comment beyond the normal scope of match reports to convince me that this merits greater inclusion than any other foul commited in the month.
