That might be so, but he should have given an American a red card in the first minute for an 'elbow'... So tell me again how America would have won that game?


Was it anything like the elbow later in the match by Slovenia? Or the foul in the penalty area when the third goal was scored? USA should have won the game. They sucked the first half, but beat them harsh in the second.

'And USA would have won today if it hadn't been for the referee'

That sentence i responded to. I did not say America did not deserve to win. But if you're gonna blame the ref, he made his first mistake 10 seconds in the game at the cost of Slovenia. So i just call bullshit when blaming the ref.

Don't blame the ref for the ref taking back a legitimate goal? Really? That is the worst logic I have ever seen. It is nothing but the ref's fault for taking back that goal. Slovenia was fouling the hell out of the USA team as all replays show. It isn't a terrible outcome considering how poorly USA played in the first half, but that does not change how the game played out. USA scored 3 legitimate goals, and should have won.

I should say I have a lot of other problems with how the game was called. One blown call wouldn't have me calling for his head. He fucked up the entire match. That was just the culmination of all his idiocy as well as the worst mistake he made the entire match. The only foul I can see on the USA side is "America is about to win!!!!111!!!11" but that didn't really hold up to the replay either. He just has no business being where he is, and I hope the higher ups take notice.

I can't believe that the most dangerous moments from England till now are when they pass the ball back to James.. >_<"
