    Kaka's red was a good thing for Brazil, they're already qualified so they won't need him in the next game and he had already gotten a yellow in this game so the only thing that the second yellow did was cleaning up his first yellow so he can play card free in the second round (remember that in this WC the cards reset after the quarters).

    Brazil benefits from the refs even when they get jobbed.

    who the says like that in the first place?

    futbol/soccer is nowhere near as physical as american football, it does require more endurance due to running alot, but... that's it ... rugby on the other hand .. having seen and played both games i can say the all blacks can beat the out of any american football team. I mean THE OUT.
    Dude, do you know how BIG american football players are? They would crush those little rugby pussies.

    I watch both sports (I prefer the NFL), they're just as big the difference is that some NFL linemen are fat, while Rugby players in general are all muscle.

    Dude, NFL linebackers go 240-270 lbs and they are ALL muscle. You're not going to find rugby players like that.

    Jonah Lomu was 6ft 4in and weighted around 260lbs when he played. Stop talking out of your ass

    tbh I'd pick a rugby team over a football team in a brawl ANY day of the week... QBs are pussies, most players are fat, and there's a lot that are just fast and low body fat, but definitly not massive. IMO it's not even a contenst, rugby players are crazy

    Rugby players aren't fat but you're nuts if you think they'd beat the out of any NFL player. I'd love to see a rugby player try to take on Ray Lewis or DeMarcus Ware.

    I understand american football and rugby aren't totally compatible, but I do think you need similar skill sets to perform well in each. If the biggest/fastest/strongest current NFL players had learned and played rugby all their lives, the US would have the #1 national rugby team in the world without a doubt.

    Why is it so hard for Americans to accept that even if they "tried", they're just not good compared to others at any particular thing?

    I wouldn't go that far but more often than not, the top US athletes go into basketball, football and even baseball before rugby/soccer.

    The exposure just isn't there.

    I'm starting to believe all the ref whining is warranted. This game is pretty much the worst reffed game so far. US game included. The only differnce is the bad calls didn't cost Brazil the game. That's it.


    Oh NOW its warranted. Who cares if the US gets screwed but when those god damn bonitos get screwed.



    JK man.

    Stop talking out of your ass! There's many players that size on every single NFL team!

    And I'm not saying the USA could beat anybody at rugby. I don't think we could. The issue is who would kick who's ass in a brawl. There's no question the NFL players would put those rugby guys to sleep.

    The US regularly curbstomps at the Olympics, we've overall got the best athletes in the world. It's pretty obvious that anybody in the US who would be good at rugby is playing football or basketball or baseball or even hockey instead.

    It's not discrediting what other countries have done, it's just the truth. Americans don't give a about rugby. If they gave a , and the elite athletes that go to the NFL instead played rugby, the United States would be one of the best nations at rugby, if not the very best.

    rugby guys are tough as . I know NFL players are too, but some of the rugby players put themselves through with no helmets and very little padding is crazy.

    It's the US fault that they were in a 0-2 whole to begin with against a team everyone thought they'd beat easily. One wrongly disallowed goal doesn't excuse the US of half assing it until the second half. Now, I agree you got shafted, but pulling the conspiracy theory card is so ing lame. You got shafted by a wrong call. happens. Trying to taint the whole tournament with conspiracy theories of politically motivated calls is complete and utter bull .

    This was about incompetence, nothing more.
    Whatever happened before the call doesn't matter, the fact is the game was on the line and this ref completely fabricated a call. He didn't see anything because there was nothing to see, it was a fabricated call. At least admit that.

    After thinking about it, the only other scenario that is plausible for why this ref would completely fabricate the foul and make the call is because he felt like he made a bad call to award the free kick to Donovan in the first place, so he was going to fabricate the call and not let the US score as a "make up" call. So at worst he's a biased, corrupt official (just the official, not the whole tourney is tainted you drama queen), and at best he's as ty as an NBA ref doing make up calls. Either way he's a ref.
