Maybe it's just because I'm an ignorant American that I don't get it, but can someone who really understands the game explain to me why that last goal of ours idn't count?  Even the English commentators covering the game for ESPN thought it should have...

Bad refereeing

This. The USA should have won. 

That. Nice to see dodgy refereeing benefiting England for once

Bad refeering doesn't even begin to explain it.  They called a foul on the one guy who had no contact with anybody!   I mean, I think that's the worst call I've seen in a sporting event.

It was pretty bad but nothing compared to this not being seen:

 

IN A WORLD CUP FINAL!

Man, it was not in the world cup final! Check it out. Argentina played '86 final match against Germany.

 

By the way, I couldn't see USA match today cause I was at work, but back at home I did. My god, USA was robbed. The thing is I gained lots of respect for that team after what they did against England the other day and the epic match they played today.

 

On the bright side, after the horrible Job england did the USA is still controlling their fate.  They just need to beat Algeria and they SHOULD be fine.

They were robbed though, had they won they'd of been looking at the top spot and could of probably snuck by for another round once the elims start.

Oh well.  It's been a crazy worldcup.   New ball and the south's different grass style really has thrown some for a loop.
