But when people checked the video footage, they found the goalie took a dive.

FIFA foreited the game to Brazil, disqualifying Chile, and also banned the goalie for life and Chile from the next World Cup.

- No - this is just a piece of amusing trivia. Also, my bad - it was a WC qualifier, not an actual WC game. - Roger More Jun 20, 17:10
wait, so FIFA does review and change the outcomes of World Cup games based on videotapes? - chuckles Jun 20, 17:05 3
- the game was technically unfinished. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:08 1
  - (It was stopped at the 70-minute-ish mark because they thought the player had been assaulted, and Chile refused to return to the field) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 20, 17:08
