Yes, strat. I do say a lot of things. Like to hear myself talk, I guess...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! In all honesty, I believe I have finally figured out why this game has not caught on in the US. I mean, the officiating is god-awful! I still have NO idea what I am watching but the announcers are going on AGAIN about the ref making ANOTHER poor call!! It seems as though that is ALL I hear! Now then, there ARE poor calls in every sport but, by and large, the officiating is very good in OUR sports. NOTHING like this, anyway!
Perhaps they need to better review how they pick the officials for this game? I am not sure but I keep hearing this over and over and these announcers are NOT just Americans with a grudge. These are guys from all over the world! They are STILL going on about the "terrible" call that just cost the US a "goal"...??!??!!? Then they start in about 2002 and whatnot so, apparently, this is an ongoing issue? Certainly can see why this is not of much interest here in the States. Maybe they need "instant replay" or something? Maybe a test for referees? I have no idea. Just seems as though the real story continues to be the refs. THAT is sad.
