Are Ukraine going to be calling for a 33rd team tomorrow? Possibly, as they have just been pegged back to 2-2 in their World Cup play-off with Ukraine after a very dodgy goal.

A shot by Johan Cabaye is chested on by Mathieu Valbuena and Karim Benzema slams it home. Problem is, Benzema was fully a yard offside when Valbuena chested it on.
