I'll take a tie after being down 2-0, but goddamn that should have been a win.

That hurts.

Now , assuming England beats Slovinia, the US has to beat Alergia by 2 to have a shot.

I'd love to know what the refs explanation of that call was, and if he'll have to explain it after the game.

Even if you call that one back, how do you miss that bear hug 2 meters from the goalie?

I don't know whats worse... NHL refereeing or World Cup Refereeing?

Current sportsnation poll:

Which call was worse:

Jim Joyce's blown call or the blown call on Edu's goal?

In the US, 59% / 41% say Edu's goal. Internationally, it's 66% / 34%.

Damn.

Dear FIFA,

You just pissed off the one country in the world that didn't give a shit about soccer.

Bad move. You won't like us when we're mad.

Sincerely,

Future US futbol hooligans.

Ya know, I just don't have anything to say to an official who blows a whistle and disallows a goal, then wont tell the opposing players what the call is.

He's got to at least tell us what the call was. Because he can't come up with a reason, thats why. FUCK FIFA!

Give us our goal! We earned it...

The Brits had a completely vested interest in seeing that came end in a draw, and even THEY are saying we got jobbed.

Well it's just absolute bullshit and FIFA should be ashamed of themselves if they allow that man to officiate another game, ever...

That would have been the first time in World Cup history a team would have won after being down 2 at the half.

BULLSHIT.
