    It was like watching the referees swallow their whistles for the Utah Jazz, it was PATHETIC.

    man.....great comeback to get the draw....but now it just feels like **** since we should have one.

    That SOB does NOT deserve to be refing the WC. So many yellow cards....that horrible call. ugh.

    First time in WORLD CUP HISTORY a team has come back from being down 2-0 and getting at least a point from a tie.

    Nope. They can not use that ref again but thats about it. We had one give a Croatian player 3 yellows before sending him off last WC.

    Refs are the reason why I am losing faith in sports.

    There's a good shot, but there could also be a 3 way tie between Slovenia, England, and the US. I know the first tiebreaker is goal differential but I don't know what it goes to after that.

    Let's assume worst case that England beats Algeria. Both them an Slovenia will have 4 points. If they tie when they play each other next week, they'll both have 5 points, which is what the US will have if they beat Algeria. If there's an outright winner between England/Slovenia, one team will have 7 points and the other will have 4 which would mean USA would advance with a win.

    If England draws with Algeria, then the US will definitely advance with a win vs Algeria.

    Heres what will likely happen-

    England wins over algeria
    England wins over Slovenia

    ENG- 7

    US wins over algeria
    US- 5
    SLV- 4
    ALG- 0

    If England draws with Slovenia (which I think very well could happen), things get interesting...

    ENG- 5
    SLV- 5

    US- 5?


    Most important thing is that we MUST win next game.

    What happens if there is the 3 way tie?

    I'm guessing he recently applied for a US visa and got denied.
