If anything, it should have been a penalty kick for the US for the full bear hug applied by Slovenia.

On the side note: i don't know why USA fans are so pissed about this result, this is a great result for USA if USA beats Algeria 2-0, Slovenia has to beat England to finish ahead of them and if that unlikely scenario happens, the USA is still through and England is the one going home...
Im pretty sure we elected Barack obama so the international sports community stops ing us over
Do YOU think it was rigged?
The bradley goal man. So good
Not as good as the Birsa one :P
Oh please, the reffing was bad but it wasn't rigged.![]()
I know... I've stated this before on other posts.
I agree with you on that - I said it above - but come on! if we win today we're pretty much in no matter what.
In a way though, the US tends to play better with pressure so maybe this will turn out to be a good thing.
He pretty much froze Howard. Pretty sick goal.
I see the World Cup has finally started.
Terrible call but saying bull calls are the reason Americans don't watch soccer is ing laughable.
Specially from an NBA fan![]()
Dempsey gets one elbow in the 1st minute and Slovenia fan is trying to use that to justify the gift his team was given. Rofl.
Btw, that defender who took down Altidore on the edge or in the box on the break deserved a red but was fortunate to only get a yellow. Slovenia got so many calls and the game gifted to them they need to start calling themselves the Lakers.
Ok, so now what do we need out of the next game? Draw or Algeria over England?
ZOMG YES EVERYONE IS OUT TO US THAT STUPID FIFA.
Not at all, really. I think it was a ty, ty job by an official who is completely out of his depth. There were a ton of late calls and questionable decisions, but the biggest ones went against the US. The yellow card early and the goal disallowed were stupendously idiotic, and I think an example of an official who didn't know how to position himself properly to call a play, or just wasn't paying enough attention.
I wonder if part of the reason that Slovenia got booked so much is that they saw he was missing some obvious fouls, and decided to play sloppier with their tackles, but those being made in the open field, he saw them.![]()
Hey, when I'm pissed I say things that might not necessarily make so much sense in retrospect.![]()
If the Leftys can draw or beat the Musers either would be a good result.
Yeah, it's not Slovenia's fault. It's just the refs in general so far, it has not been very good. USA played well, and that should have been a goal, it's a shame. Slovenia got lucky there. And it has nothing to do with games being rigged, that's just crap.
We're in agreement then
Yeah, but it's like I'm a guy talking to you about this chick I could have had last night at the bar and you're the guy who stayed in to study.
We're in agreement, but I'm the one with blue balls.![]()
More like you're the guy talking to me about this chick you could have had last night at the bar and I'm the guy that had her three days ago
yes, in my scenario you're still the guy with the blue balls.
Seriously though, I agree, the US got hosed.
Hey MaNuMaNiAc what's your sig supposed to mean? I don't get it.
Seriously?
On a side note somebody should really make a "Lol USA" gif with that dumb ass grown man in the stands who was crying after the Bradley goal
