ajzepp Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 They awarded a penalty kick on that. 712306[/snapback] Unreal.....that pretty much sealed our fate, most likely. I just can't see us putting two in the net in one half, but I'm trying not to give up yet. friggin refs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost got through typing that with a straight face, too... That call was unbelievable. I've been fouled worse than that sitting at my desk at work...

kegtapr Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 This US team is pathetic. Forget the overall lack of effort, they're not even following the basic fundamentals of the game. Somebody needs to be far post on those crosses, the crosses themselves need to go far post and there should always be an atttacker following up. You learn this sh-- in youth soccer for crying out loud. They finally did all of these once and look what happened...they scored. Anyway....the refs are going to ruin this world cup for all the teams and the fans. I don't know whether to blame fifa for telling them to crack down or the refs for taking them too literally, but it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well what can you do - the world hates us. That's soccer I guess. I thought I recognized that ref from the '72 Olympics in Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been fouled worse than that sitting at my desk at work... 712312[/snapback] No doubt.....The refs are pussifying this game big time....I can't believe this is the approach that FIFA has them taking....there is SUPPOSED to be a physical aspect to this game, and they're ruining it by not allowing it to take its course. Oh well.....at least as Bills fans we're already accustomed to this sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Well what can you do - the world hates us. 712314[/snapback] I blame Bush. No, seriously, if we hadn't invaded Iraq and pissed off the entire international community, we'd be getting calls. No, really, I believe that.

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 somebody explain the award of that penalty kick. What was the foul? 712323[/snapback] A push. In theory. In any other part of the field, he's just going for the ball... I hasten to add, too, in the midst of all my bitching about officiating...if the calls were even and sensible, the US would still suck.
