I agree - in fact it was a BAD call (to go along with two HORRENDOUS calls). You made a valid point, but there is even more. The slo-mo replay makes it pretty clear he did not have the ball in his grasp (either hands or arms). He was just laying on it, trying to get control, when he was hit and it squirted out.
As usual, South America's Team brought South America's Refs with them.
