..... How are people getting that the euros hate us for this? The ref is Australian....

Sepp Blatter and his disdain for instant replay might have something to do with it?

Of course, everyone hates Sepp Blatter.

I don't think Smuffin knows the game's rules and will just jump at any chance to talk about how europe hates USA

Right. I'm the ONLY person who thinks these were questionable calls.

About 20 minutes ago I challenged XIC in the other topic, and now I challenge you guys. TELL ME the last time an incredibly questionable and goal-deciding call worked out IN FAVOR of the USA in International play.

It's not that I'm particularly outraged at any one individual call. I've openly argued that referee error is part of sports and should be accepted, under the assumption that in the long run, it evens out. I am alleging that in international soccer, it does NOT in fact even out. Every time I watch the USA in soccer, all close calls go against us, and occasionally they are so completely out there and ridiculous that everyone is outraged.

If this is all about "me not knowing the rules" would you care to explain to me why the entire ****ing stadium is booing the **** out of Marta every time she touches the ball?

Why must you make it about yourself? I mean I don't think anyone is disageeing with the fact that its a bad call, just pointing out that you will pop up to talk about either leftists, europe hates the USA or some other BS in football related topics at very specific times.

I mean, I didn't see you talk about how badly the refs screwed up in some copa america games, or no comment on the eduardo dive and you certainly didn't show up to talk about Ben thatcher's ugly elbow strike.

US got away with a handball against Mexico in the 2002 World Cup. Of course, Germany got away with one the very next game.

And I love the injury faking stuff. Pure gamesmanship. Reminds me of Eddie Guerrero.

Uh, I've never claimed to be some sort of hardcore soccer fan. I watch it pretty rarely. Just the big international tournaments, occasionally some MLS, MAYBE some champs league once in awhile, and that's about it.

Given that I mainly only watch when Team USA plays, it shouldn't be incomprehensible to you as to why I only "show up" at certain times. It's because those are the only times I watch. And as I said to ExTha, I wouldn't be able to complain about close calls constantly going against the USA if... you know.... that didn't actually happen.

Gee maybe if you watched other games you'd actually have the vaguest clue in the world about whether you were seeing this horrible conspiracy to destroy US soccer or if you were just seeing the same kind of sketchy calls that pop up all the time. But then again you miss the fact that the US ISN'T actually some horrible victim nation who plays a perfectly honourable game every time and gets punished for it (did you even watch their games in the world cup last year? Against Ghana in particular they got away with some hilariously blatant crap) even when you do watch their games, so maybe it wouldn't help.

You're remembering very wrong. Ricardo Clark ****ed up, and Tim Howard didn't protect his post to let in the first goal. Second goal was a very nice shot if I'm remember correctly/

I mean....our goal against Ghana was a penalty kick. They scored two legit goals against us.

Like I said, Smuffin is generally very ignorant about football and football is one of the few sports the US actually plays internationally. Add in the fact that football does have some bad officiating (it's definitely worse than sports with replay, anyway) and his natural persecution complex/"patriotism" and you get this mess of crap.

Doesn't know what he's talking about, US don't play often on an international stage, extension of his crappy personality.
