Do you think if the roles had been reversed he would feel the same?

We'll never know, if there was a space between the line and the ball or not, either way it would be counted in millimeters, possibly centimeters. To be absolutely honest watching live I thought it was a goal (apart from the offside) only on reflection and really looking at the images, IMHO it is not possible to be sure.
And no, it doesn't matter now and it wouldn't have mattered had it been given. Which makes me doubly suspicious of Blatters reaction. Not that I disagree, mind you. Were GLT implemented already we would know beyond any reasonable doubt.
