In US sport there would have been the instant replay. I think that call would have been overturned had it taken place here. I don't trust international refs as they tend to call it as they would like it to be, like it happens in the Olympics often. Not saying the ref was biased but even his own country called him 3rd rate.
Oh, well we all know US doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning so all of this is a mute point. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Becks from Friday, June 18, 2010 6:52:14 PM)

Apparently there was a foul in there somewhere, but we're all struggling to figure out where. The ref is only human, he doesn't have the benefit of multi camera views that we have. There's heaps of talk on the US Soccer facebook page about petitioning FIFA - nothing can be done now, all that can happen is they pick themselves up and worry about the upcoming game against Algeria next week.

Just watched the condensed version of todays games which is all I could take I think. Must say looks like the US got a screwing on that goal. Saw it from about five different angles and while plenty of the other team should have got yellow cards, no one touched the goal scorer. Kinda sucked. Good thing I'm not passionate about this game or I would be very loud. I do know one thing, if the sound of those horns makes the constant background noise of an angry bee nest I think I would go crazy and start to grab horns away from people and flogg them with them.
