If people just look at 1 possesion to determine how the game was reffed they know nothing about sports.
REF LET AMERICAN PLAYERS PLAY WITH ELBOWS THE WHOLE ING GAME WHILE OUR PLAYERS GOT YELLOW CARDS FOR WAY SMALLER FOULS!!!
@ the Slovenians trying to act as though you got anything but a ing gift today. Everyone in the world knows the US won this game.

Eh, I don't have to prepare for anything thats on the team and I'm sure they'll get it done.
But yeah, I am pretty butthurt right now. You would be too.
Why do you like the NBA then?
Your players were the ones playing dirty, not ours. Get lost. Our challenges were fair and on the ball, yours were sloppy and from behind.
That play at the half's end was NOT a 4 on 2. It was a pretty standard buildup with good position in the center of the field.
But hey, I guess in your eyes a ball called dead at the kickoff circle is equal to a goal.I thought you Europeans were supposed to know a little something about futbol?
First USA Spanks England 1-1
Then they completely destroy Slovenia!! 2-2!!
despite dirty Slovenian players and the worst ref in the history of the world, that was one of the most dramatic and entertaining sporting matches I've ever seen.
So if you're going to start ripping soccer now, go yourself
Maybe you should start preparing that sig...
LOL LOL LOL
This is ing hilarious.
Ah, so now the population of a country is directly related to how biased an official might be?
Hilarious.
LOL FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuu
If they advance I'll man up and do it but it will be complete bull .
Here's a little something about futbol you might want to know:
If a player takes down another player from behind without getting the ball, he's going to be booked.
If he gets a good piece of the ball, he probably won't even be called for a foul.
I know that's hard to comprehend, but it's the way the game works.
Nice try though. Your team made sloppy tackles and deserved to lose.
touche
Exactly.
IT IS IN DIRECT INTEREST OF FIFA FOR AMERICANS TO ADVANCE!
And FIFA can make officials to loose a job.
Bull , what would happen then is the outcome of games with controvertial calls wouldn't be decided until days or even weeks after the games ended with every team complaining they deserve the outcome overturned because of every ing technicallity. You either catch the call as it happens or you don't. OR you make it so that the ref has access to video so he ALWAYS catches wrong calls at the time they happen. Then it leaves no doubt.
Changing game results after the fact just doesn't work, no matter how much butthurt fans of teams screwed like to about it. Trust me, I know, I've been on the ing end of this argument many a time.
You better clean yourself off after wetting your pants when you saw the Edu shot go in.
And we have owned your team for the last decade. Whats you point. LOL Donovan PISSING ON AZTECA
What I want to know is, why (or how) did slovenia go from being a very respectable, highly capable opponent, to being a travesty in soccer uniforms?
I was fully prepared to give props to them for much of the game. But now all I wish is ill upon them.
Garbage. The entire slovenian team and their managers belong in a dumpster, along with that ing ref.
I don't have a problem with FIFA not changing the results. I mean if anything Ireland has way more of a beef with this. The game changes as a result of one play and you can't go back and wipe out that one play and then act as if the rest of the game would have been the same.
the ref. Thats all. the Ref.
@ anyone that thinks this was a rigged game. It was just another case of a ref being careless and not paying close enough attention. Its a case of bad reffing, not international conspiracy. Conspiracy therosits are so ing lame.
Had to attend a seminar and missed the entire second half. I ing hate you all.
The ref made questionable calls on both sides the whole game. Other than the game-winning goal, I think giving the yellow card to that one player (Finley) that knocks him out of the next game was overboard and harsh. It didn't need a yellow card.
Great heart though, hope Algeria wins against England and then we beat Algeria!
Man. The USA decided to show up the second half. Completely made me forget about the first half. It is a shame that the go ahead goal was waived. It would have capped an improbable comeback.
