What was it, though? If the account I'm reading of that play is correct, any foul on Bradley should have been called on the other team first, for holding.

GO GERMANY!

The refs today (Germany and United States Games) weren't to great.

In Brazil we say that the referee ruled a "goal danger", an obviously ironic (and hopefully self-explaining) expression. ;)

There is danger of a goal being made? That's always the case, even when the ball's near midfield.

(I think there is also another name for that sort of call--"excuse for the fans of instant replay to yell at X organization".)

Hence, the irony! ;)

About instant replay... I do not believe it will happen anytime soon, maybe ever. FIFA and International Board have a great point, which I'm not sure I agree with, that those discussions about referee rulings are an essential part of the sport. Every soccer fan has at least five very controversial rulings that he will most certainly pass on to his sons and daughters together with the love for the sport itself. And they will pass it on. And on. And big discussions will be held about it. Whether the US advances to the knock-outs or stays behind because of that goal, in twenty years people will still be talking about it. And that's one of the reasons soccer has become, by far, the most popular - and loved - sport in the world.
You may not agree with the morality of that, but pragmatically, boy are they right on.

The original call seemed to be on Bradley for offsides, but when they put it into the records, I guess they realized there was no offsides... at all... or close. So they said foul. That's my assumption anyway.

You're quite correct in saying it should have been a penalty if there was a foul; the Slovenian players were far, far more aggressive, and one of their players actually tried to slide tackle Edu from behind as he scored.
