There have been numerous site comments, emails, tweets, etc all saying that this penalty kick from Stephen Donald actually missed. It didn't.Having studied it in good quality, slowed it down, and having used a bit of common sense, you can clearly see that the camera is moving from left to right, creating an illusion of it having slipped wide and to the right of the post.

The ball ends up on that side because he's kicked it in the form of an in-ducker, which is basically when the ball goes from left to right from a right-footed kicker after he's stabbed at it. It's almost like a slice, or the same direction you'd expect a slice to go anyway.That's certainly not conclusive proof, but just look at the reactions of the touch judges (flags up straight away),

the crowd, the French players, and Donald himself. It might have looked like it missed when watching on tv, but there's no conspiracy here. Hopefully we can put this one to rest. // Copy and pasted

I should watch the kick again, the problem is that i remember seeing the ball on the outside of the post when it passes it. If it was on the inside you would see the ball behind the post due to the camera angle. When i first saw it i thought miss
