The Ref Stop

Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind!
Level 7 Referee
I was watching it in an Irish Bar in Dublin with no sound, any thoughts on the last ditch 'tackle' on the Slovakian attacker. (Apologies if it wasn't Walker). Any thoughts that this was a right / wrong call?
 
The Ref Stop
Yep, very lucky. What's confused the referee, who in fairness was in a brilliant position, was that as he fell Weiss's leg has knocked the ball so it looked to the referee that the ball had changed direction, and in the same direction that Walker would have nudged it. I can understand why he got it wrong, but ultimately wrong decision.
 
My first call was "superb challenge". Reverse angle showed I was wrong!
 
It was quite funny, some German tourists came in the bar and asked to watch the Germany game (It was 4-0 at that time) I said there was no chance as others were suffering the England game... So, I said i'd look for it on my laptop, I searched Youtube and found them England 4 Germany 2 for 12 minutes of action... They found it very funny and even called the Lino some German swear words!!!
