FIFA has ZERO balls (testicular, not soccer)...

[DMX7]

Not only won't they say what the foul was that robbed the U.S. of a winning goal but they won't even say who the foul was called on.

But it get's typically worse, not even a replay of the sequence is available of Fifa's website and I'm convinced they've completely censored the FIFA fan comments too because there's 25 pages worth of comments and I couldn't find even a mention of the play (although I didn't read them all but I searched for some).

stern on the other hand has huge balls. like when fisher fouled barry in 08, the NBA went out and said "that was the wrong call, and we arent doing anything about it"- clearly, a much better approach that makes it easier for the fans to sleep at night

[ffadicted]

Shouldn't have played a shitty ass first half

I really don't think anyone is disputing that the dissallowed goal was a fuck up. FIFA isn't censoring it, they just don't allow anyone other than officially approved broadcasters to show replays of the WC. Hence, you won't find many. Having said that, anyone watching the game saw it was bullshit. Hell, anyone watching the game saw 5 or 6 Slovene fouls on that play before they'd ever see an American one :lol That makes all the more ridiculous.

[Trainwreck2100]

i thought they called offsides

[MaNuMaNiAc]

i thought they called offsides

Nobody is quite sure what the fuck was called :lol

[wut]

I think you're right, Fifa is certainly censoring their comments for the match, it's hard to believe NO ONE would comment about what was clearly the defining momment of the whole match.

Also I agree with ManuManiac...I think I saw ONE American foul among 4 Slavanian fouls; but the ref clearly was looking at the ONE American foul on the play and he must've felt like it was that foul that freed up Edu for the goal. I won't pretend to know football rules enough to say, if that was the case if the goal is disallowed in those situations.

Yes, fair enough, you can say it was a shitty call, I just thought you were blaming the entire loss on the ref lol

Are you new to soccer? 2002 Germany hand balled a shot out of the goal against us. 86 Maradonna hand balled a goal in. Henry double hand balled to get into the cup. Hopefully USA will shake it off and beat leftys team.

[Muser]

Yeah they fucked up, but god damn get over it.

[MannyIsGod]

lol at telling people to get over it not even 24 hours and lol at Slovenians who can't even acknowledge how lucky they are if they go through.

[Slo spurs fan]

We are the luckyest nation in the world, ok Manny? And we will go trough with that point or without it becouse we will beat England.

[MannyIsGod]

Why do you guys have to be such cocks? The rest of the world can fucking see that you lost that game but you guys have to come on here and be fucking assholes to those of us that have been anything but to you. Just show some fucking humility. I hope England smashes you at this point.

[Slo spurs fan]

Ohh my god, here we go again. WE FUCKING KNOW that was a goal and that we are lucky to have that point, got it?!?!?!?

[Slo spurs fan]

Oh and I hope and belive Algeria won´t make same misstake as our players did and will step on your throat and kill you.

same mistake? rolling around on the ground like a bunch of 10 year old girls and doing every dirty thing known to a soccer player? I doubt Algeria, or any nation on earth, can stoop to the low level your pathetic nation did yesterday. Congrats on supporting such a classless side.

Those of us who aren't blind homers aren't like that. Though I admit for me it helps that I'm not really into football, I wouldn't be upset even if we lost. On the other hand, basketball is a completely different story. :lol

I'm with you, Pero--I'd actually predicted the US would get beat 2-1 (different forum lol), so I was looking like a genious through 3 quarters of the match. At the end of the day, though, I'm just biding my time because the Spurs weren't in the Finals, gridiron football hasn't started yet, and NASCAR only races on Sundays :lol

We will see, we will se.

What the fuck has this to do with that intentional foul by Dempsey?
We all know that US was screwed but please give me a break that only our players played dirty and yours was innocent like a little girl.
I rest my case. You were screwed, both teams got the point, deserved or not. We were in your skin so fucking many times and I understand what you feel right now.

Dempsey would have resulted in a free kick. This was a goal and 3 points

I was talking about first minute elbow to the head.

[boston.balla]

lmao at all people bitching like that. There are 22 players and one fucking ref plus another line ref who is 25m away ... shit happens, it was not on purpose.

Imagine if all the heskey turns with contact from defenders in the usa-eng match would of been fouls (with certain euro refs that would have been more than probable) .

IF you want shit on purpose look at netherlands-japan replay, the consistency with which the calls went ned's way made it look dubious.


So to conclude ... you people are not experienced with this kind of shit ... it happens alot and more often than not it is not on purpose. Blatant decisions and referring are easily observed throught history (hello south korea), you guys got unlucky and that's that.

England are going to be fired up for Wednesday, you can believe that.

I love how the Elbow = all the dirty shit Slovenia did. It seemed like every possesion America had in the last 20 minutes someone got kicked or taken out.

LOL best group since The Beatles

LOL
England
Algeria

LOL Balooney
LOL Fabio

[Muser]

This isn't about England sucking, this is about how Slovenia are lucky as shit to have 4 points. It took a lucky goal and some bullshit officiating.

I look forward to our shitty squad skullfucking the beno tribe.

[Slo spurs fan]

4points > 2points
LOL Muser

[Muser]

5 points > 4 points.

[Slo spurs fan]

7 points > 2 points

[Muser]

It's going to be sweet when both England and USA win. lol 3rd place.

[Slo spurs fan]

Man give me a break. It comes only once or twice in my lifetime that we are at the big stage and have great opportunity to qualify in elimination stage. I am allowed to talk crap now! I will enjoy it while it last! So, Slovenia all the way!

[Muser]

There is a difference between talking shit and being a douchebag.

[velik_m]

England will beat us. If push comes to shove, Rooney will just flop inside the box and win them a penalty. We have to count on Algeria to get a draw against USA.

[Muser]

England will be a lot better than they were against Algeria, All of the backlash + Fabio will light a huge fire under their ass.

At least that's what i hope, and right now hope is all i've got with these sackless pieces of shit.

[boutons_deux]

The ref in USA-SLV game has been banned from reffing any more WC games.

[boston.balla]

England will beat us. If push comes to shove, Rooney will just flop inside the box and win them a penalty. We have to count on Algeria to get a draw against USA.

i agree, there will definately be some home cooking for england.

Possible game scenario:

slo defends well and poses problems on the counter
england has 1 or 2 chances blown by rushing due to pressure
referee gives alot of fouls to eng which all transform to long balls in the box
1) england finaly lucks on in
slo now have to attack
england change heskey/crouch to winger and try to expose slo on the counter while packing their side

2) if england does not luck one in
they risk more and more
become frustrated
slo does not take the risk to attack but has moderate chances on wing play due to (terry/carragher/johnson being poor defensively either by positioning or speed)
probably draw

1) is more probably due to the bolded line = that's the key of the game

One ref and a line ref would explain if there was a missed call, not a phantom call made probably due to personal bias and political issues. You never call anything in the box late unless it is blatant (like the Slovenian bear hug on Bradley). That was intended. It just sucks that we can't have fair competition without political bias. Like Michael Bradley and Donovan were the cause of the Iraqi war and all the political issues. It's sad, sport is supposed to transcend that.

[Whisky Dog]

I'm over it. It was unfortunate, but like I was drilled in the Marine Corps - adapt to any situation and overcome adversity. The situation has since turned in the US's favor - beat Algeria and you're in the knockout stage with a chance at group winner. The way I see it if the US squad can't rise to the occassion and beat Algeria (not Spain or Brazil or Germany but freaking Algeria) then they really don't deserve to move forward in the tourney. The task is at hand, the obstacle clear and visible, go execute and leave nothing to chance or human error. There is 80+ minutes of game to dominate to ensure one judgement call can't kill you.
