Rio Ferdinand has his first international goal after Fifa credited him with the opener in England's 3-0 win over Denmark.
The Leeds defender's fifth-minute header, which was going wide, was bundled into the net by Danish goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.
However, Fifa decided to award Ferdinand the goal after their Technical Study Group (TSG), who adjudicate in such matters, watched video tapes of the incident.
Keith Cooper, Fifa director of communications, said: "Own goals still exist, but when in doubt we like to think positive and if it is 50-50 then we will go with the attacking player.
"It was an attempt on goal that was deflected in, but that happens all the time in football."
Ferdinand said: "It wasn't one of the best headers, but it was nice that it was awarded to me.
"To score so early in the game was brilliant and for it to be me was the icing on the cake. You dream about things like that and luckily enough I've been able to live out a dream."
Told you it was rio's goal.

Heh. Ferdinand's header was on target, the keeper attempted to stop it and failed. I don't see what the problem is. It's his goal.
Had a quid on Rio at 40-1! It wasn't a goal though but thank FIFA they gave it!
Yeah, dont really know what Fifa are playing at.
The ball was clearly going wide, in fact not even remotly close to going in. And a typical Reynolds post as well. Everyone knows it was an O.G.

What a Joke, his header would never have gone in the goal unless it hit someone else.
I would be ashamed to claim that as a goal even if it was his first international goal.

He is a bit lucky there as it was going wide and the bookies said it was an own goal costing punters who betted on him scoring scoring first at odds of 40-1.
Yeh it seems the Fifa Officials have chnaged it..
It's all a bit silly really, because it was nowhere near Rio's goal, if his header was going anywhere near the goal then I would have agreed to give him the goal, but his header was going across the goal area and if no players were there inc the keeper, that ball would have harmlessly gone across the face of the goal.
Therefore the Goalkeeper tried to grab the ball but it was like a bar of soap in his hands and he put the ball in the goal, not Rio.
It should have been credited as an own goal, but anyway who cares we are through thats what counts we are playing great at the moment Rio's a rock at the Back, Butty's breaking up a lot of the play in the middle aswell as creating for others and Owen'Heskey have started scoring again..
Bring on Brasil!
