You could also say he ran backwards into the defender. The defender came in the way and collided on his side. This could be intentional or unintentional (due to momentum or perhaps to save his face). If it was intentional, you are probably right - it's a penalty. If it was not, an unintentional obstruction doesn't call for a foul. Hence, the use of controversial. Riquelme's header was definitely world class. No doubt about that. Messi collided with the defender on his back. You could also say he ran backwards into the defender.

The penalty awarded to Argentina was not controversial. Don't go by what the commentator said, use your own head. Messi flicked up the ball sufficient enough to evade the first defender and the ball would have easily carried past the second defender. The second defender stopped Messi from getting past him to collect the ball. So that a clear penalty. N the header by Riquelme was world class; even the fans behind the goal didn't think it was going in until the ball finally went in. In fact the fans behind the post were surprised. I completely agree with the second half analysis. My Friend sumant if this article you wrote was to praise Argentina, then please give them their fair share.
