Read in a few places that UEFA have said Sweden's first goal was an own goal by Glen Johnson. I just do not understand this. The ball was heading in before Johnson tried clear it. His clearance failed, and the ball bounced in off the post. that goal should be Mellberg's.

Not what I saw. He kicked the ball in with his knee and then tried to kick it out again hitting the post in the process.

Still doesn't take from the fact that the ball was heading in even without Johnson's effect on it. It was a clear goal by Mellberg and quite a bad decision by UEFA's part to rule it as an own goal. 


It wasn't going in though. Hart palmed it across the goal and it hit Johnsons's knee. I didn't notice this at first but I don't think it wasn't heading in.
