Great sportsmanship
Interesting... you don't see this too often. On a ball played by NED from midfield, the ESP GK misplayed the bounce and went over his head (luckily not in goal) and out of bounds. For some reason, the linesman/ref called for a CK. On the CK, NED sportsmanly (is that a word?) played the ball back to the GK, effectively correcting the bad call by the ref. Can you imagine if the GER GK after ENG's goal was not called decided to correct it and kick it into his net (on second thought, I don't think you can intentionally kick the ball into your own net (with Gordo, it's sometimes hard to tell if it was intentional or not) so the GER GK would have to just lay the ball down for ENG to kick in. 33'.
