If you see the footage from the other angle, u'll notice a arm pressing the golie's shoulder, wich doesn't let him jump, and when he does tries to jump he falls because of that arm.

i'm aware of that, but your argument is flawed...
firstly: the arm was there first, terry raised his arm to gain height (as you do when you jump) and the goalie jumped up beneath it, there was absolutely no way in which terry would have been able to move his arm out of the way. He didn't look at the keeper once, his eyes were only focused on the ball, so he had no way of knowing the keeper was coming.
secondly: the reason the ref gave a free-kick is for a push, i'm pretty damn sure that there was no pushing at all in that area. also (i might be wrong about this, i'm not sure), i think the linesman said the goal was ok... he had a much better view than the ref who actually had players blocking his view of the incident.
now i'm not one to dwell on the past, but i do not see anyway in which someone could question that the goal was legitimate.
