    Who does? There was no foul, no offside.....just nothing but a great set piece, and great finish.

    If this was Colombia that ref would be shot....

    So because something is unlikely, I can't root for it to happen?

    The Rockets winning a championship as a #6 seed was unlikely, I guess I should have been rooting for some other outcome in '94.

    I know the call was total bs, but has anyone heard a rational? Offside? Foul by whom? I'm baffled.

    How can you have a sport where the ref doesn't have to announce what the call is, right when it occurs? I keep hearing the US team saying they were never told what the call was.

    Can the ref just blow his whistle and point in the other direction without giving a reason?

    I'm not an optimist.

    You do know if we advance with England we don't play them in elimination right?

    The only call that ref could have made was a PK for the USA on Bradley being held.....

    That was 100% bullcrap.....

    whatever the case, we got robbed for that 3rd goal, but it was our fault for being down 2-0 in the first place. We are fortunate to get the tie.

    England will not lose here on out, unless the refs gives two red cards to England they will win.

    The three US goals were legit. There's no 'being fortunate' when you tie a game in which you outscored your opponent. Doesn't matter who scored first.

    I don't think he's up yet after a long night of partying and making love to his partner Kobe.

    Actually got robbed of two goals, if you count the last man foul on Altidore that should have resulted in a red card and automatic penalty. I don't recall ever seeing a referee THIS bad in a world cup game.

    If we advance without England, we don't play them in elimination either. :grin:

    The goal was clearly not offside.

    But the cards against the Slovenia is also ridiculous.

    10 mins three cards? Are you serious?

    Our chances are good if we can win 2-0 or 3-1. We can do this.
