Socceroos legends Craig Foster and Mark Bosnich in heated clash over Argentina penalty that has divided experts around the world: 'I don't know what you expect the goalie to do'

Ex-Socceroos Craig Foster and Mark Bosnich have had a heated debate over the Argentina's first-half penalty in their World Cup semi final win, which divided football experts globally.

Referee Daniele Orsato pointed to the spot in match against Croatia after 32 minutes, convinced goalkeeper Dominic Livakovic had fouled Julian Alvarez.

Superstar Lionel Messi rifled home from 12 yards moments later to hand La Albiceleste a 1-0 lead - but many football pundits weren't convinced it was the right call.

At the front of the queue was former Manchester United shot-stopper Bosnich, who passionately argued his case in SBS commentary against colleague Craig Foster during their halftime analysis.
