didn't think the Marquez one was a pen
the ball was clearly going through to the keeper so Marquez did what all defenders do in that position - protected the keeper by getting his body between him and any onrushing attackers (in this case Ronaldo). He just about made it, and Ronaldo ran into the back of him (throwing himself on the floor and throwing ihis arms about in the process). Good physical defending but not a pen in my book - you see it in every game and a pen is hardly ever given. If John Terry had done it against soem foreign team the ITV commentators would have been drooling, but some nasty foreigner did it to a Man U player so the oiutrage was in full display...
