In a great game US lost 1-0. I just want to know others thoughts on the game and the rest of the cup…especially that god %%%% hand ball and the Sanna(probably miosspelled) header in the 90th minute>>>>i actually jumped off my couch in celebration cause i thought it was in
i can’t believe that %%%% ref didn’t see that hand. and the last minute play!! i really thought it went in! i got so excited!!..it sux that the US is eliminated, but they did an awesome job this year
He saw the hand and made the right call that the ball played the hand, not the other way around, and the whole ball didnt cross the line, so it was really just a bad luck play, but so close! And that last header I almost fell over off my recliner, Oh well they gave it their best and did better than everyone thought they were going to.
ooo that was a good game but these FIFA refs havent been very good this tourney…The same thing happened in the US/Mexico game…
A cross came into the center and was redirected…but how was it redirected? Off the hand of a US defenceman…sometimes i wonder about these referees
well there is always 2006
DJ FLUCK, dont forget about italy, they were gyped throughout the cup.
Also, i think the ref got a little card happy at the end, carding reyna, mastrastrani(twice), and buckhalter(twice)…although it doesnt matter now i just mention it because of the calls missed like when, i believe it was McBride, was bullrushed in the back going up for a header in the box.
more thoughts: the germans are cheaters, i know shirt tugging and pulling is part of soccer, even at that level, but EVERYTIME the jacka$$e$ were grabbing handfuls of shirts…i guess i am bitter but its still true
