Totally incompetent from DARK CONTINENT

[bigdelta 46]

Not only did he disallow the goal but totally missed Michael Bradley pulled to the ground with a bear hug in the box.

And 10 minutes earlier on the Altidore breakaway,not giving a red card as he was the last man.

Soccer rules are simple enough for everyone to understand but apparently too difficult for this INGRATE!

And yes,I understand FIFA has to have referees from every continent,(why)not to show prejudice,but if he's one of the best on that continent,how sad.The referees for the biggest tournament in the world should be chosen from the most competent worldwide,not to appease...........those "what about us" clowns.

Granted,we are a team on a long,slow, downward spiral as I posted 10 days ago,but to be robbed by this clown is inexcusable.

He should be banned from further matches but he won't be because.....wait for it.....HE'S FROM AFRICA!

When a referee's decision directly affects the direction of a match and the World Cup,he needs to be banned from further matches.

Mali referee Koman and his family.

Get over it.

Shitty officiating is a part of all sports.

It was an entertaining game seeing the USA struggle in the first have against a nation that has a smaller population than da Bronx.

Yes he made some crappy decisions but at least he wasnt bullied.

Have the Lawyers started lining up yet?

[midlifecrisis 4,030]

The chances of moving on to the second round are slim or none.

[ozijeff 9]

Not necessarily. The USA needed to get 3 more points and they still do. Another game to go but now other results need to fall the USA's way.

[bratpack 91]

You lot never stop moaning,totaly outplayed first half and you played well second,fully deserved the point,but you still aint won a game,shit happens,and stop blaming the ref he wasnt that bad.You had the luck with the rob green blunder so be happy you have 2 points,with Algeria to come

You get one yank saying the ref stopped you winning,now you are being defeatest.

 

2 points ---------- yanks

 

4 points ----------Slovenia

 

1 point ----------- England

 

scenario

 

England win later so 4 points

 

yanks beat Algeria so 5 points

 

England beat Slovenia ----- 8 points

 

so the brits help the yanks again,as always

Shocking decision.

 

But sadly it's part of the game, you want to see some of the decisions in England. Fucking joke.

England beat Slovenia ----- 8 points

 

You wish.

thank goodness LGTR is not, i repeat not a racist.

England win later so 4 points

 

Yes, this was pretty easy.

 

I was wondering how come England didn't play Rooney. They showed him on TV after the match AHEM pulling up his socks, literally. Too bad he and they didn't do that BEFORE the match. I don't remember such a poor all-star team in any sport in quite a few years.

And to think Crapello didn't sub his highness in the 2nd half.The 2nd best player in the Premier League has been an empty uniform for roughly 160 of 180 minutes so far.I guess if he can't cuss or swear at a referee he can't play.

But you hit it on the head joe and group of stars doesn't make a TEAM.

How old are you cardigan?Maybe if you'd stayed awake during geography class you'd know that Africa is indeed called the Dark Continent.So thanks again and I REPEAT for showing YOUR ignorance.

Typical ACLU clown.

[cariden 1]

yeah maybe in the 1950s, give me a break.

[joekicker 53]

Not only did he disallow the goal but totally missed Michael Bradley pulled to the ground with a bear hug in the box.

 

And he missed Dempsey's red card high elbow in the first minute or so, TOTALLY missed it. That also was a game changer. Let's not forget that he didn't let in two Slovenia goals, eh?

Will you be revising the helpful Brits total to 2?

 

Interesting turn of events. We don't make it out of the group stage and it's: "Oh well, there they go again". You "lot" don't make it out of the group stage and it's: "Holy shit, that was an utterly pitiful embarrassment".

[Upharsin 0]

Seems like the Yanks still haven't learnt the rules of 'soccer'.

 

Rule no. 1: The referee's decision is final....and no correspondence will be entered into.

[The Mook 105]

Seems to me anyone rooting for their home country would not be happy with the call in the 85th minute.

But, like everyone else would talk about it while living with it. What's the big deal? It all comes down to a

team's complete effort in group play, and that means 3 full games. The real measure of the US team will

be revealed against Algeria. Until then...

[joekicker 53]

Fair enough, too. But I was actually more concerned with a terrible official who missed or mismanaged several quite crucial calls that affected the course of the match, and almost certainly the actual outcome even if not the actual winner -- since goals count, goals allowed count, etc. AND he is unwilling to explain his actions as is the odious Fifa.

dO YOU KNOW THE WORD,

scenario

 

Also i dont think there are many england supporters who give us a chance of getting to the quarters,unlike then yanks who think they are brilliant,good yes but not in the same class as the top 5

Well duh. Will you be revising your scenario?

Does it take scoring more than a single goal to qualify for the top 5?

 

I may have to change my soccer sucks stance. It's bloody well fun to take the piss out of you cunts...... :D

Wasn't that bad, eh?

At least we aren't moaning like you Brits (like Jamie ) and games like in 1986, where it was would of, could of, should of. The US had the game taken away from them from incompetent referring..

That is an interesting observation about the small Slovenian population. Slovenia has a population of 2 (two) million people versus the USA 300 million plus. A small country like Slovenia should be given at least a 2 goal bonus against a football country like the USA before the start of the game plus an extra player, to make it a fair contest.

 

I enjoyed watching the game with the many fanatical American supporters in the crowd "rooting" for their team. Having said that, USA soccer-football can now be considered world class. It is only a matter of time, probably less than 10 years, before it will be the number one sport in their country. I hope Vic Vegas will not commit suicide when the best sport on earth will be the most dominant sport in all countries on this planet.

Hi,

 

What a great show indeed. US showed good bottle to get back in the game and have a great chance of progressing IMO.

[Upharsin 0]

The New York Post reported the result against England as "USA wins 1-1".

 

An echo of the 'We must win at all costs' mentality from down the decades?. .
