    This should be an insane 45 minutes.

    DD you gave to admit that it was EXTREMLY close. Btw not sure if you guys have heard but US citizens are the ones who bought the most WC tickets.

    I know I am American biased but I'll never watch another game of this or future world cup if it ends like it is right now. US should already be in the next round. The fact the referees disallowed two goals in back to back games is ridiculous bring a replay a system in or least give the advantage to the striker like they did with France vs Ireland.

    That last cross where Altidore fades from the ball instead of going to get it with his head is an indicator of his nature, he needs to be hungrier in that box.

    If I'm not mistaken, he scored the most goals during qualifiers.

    I agree with the replay system, but using France vs Ireland as a example that you should give the advantage to the striker is not helping your argument. :grin:

    In his defense, he was very, very unlikely to get that. Looked to me like he was playing back in case the Algerian defender misplayed it. Not a bad call on his part, but I agree he looks timid in crowds.

    You can't check citizenship via a ticket purchase. :eek: Most were purchased in the USA, that can be a fact, but not US Citizens, I can assure you.

    I turned it off. I can't watch it anymore, I'm so afraid of a loss or draw. It would be as bad as Rockets losing a game 7 in first round.

    Are these refs literally the worst refs they could find?
