ajzepp Posted June 22, 2006 Author 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....

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.... 712309[/snapback] Hey, it could happen...the refs could award the US penalty kicks of their own... 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 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.
BuffOrange Posted June 22, 2006 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.

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

This US team is so bad, I'm almost rooting for them NOT to advance, so I don't have to watch them embarras themselves in the next round...

X. Benedict Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 somebody explain the award of that penalty kick. What was the foul?
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 22, 2006 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 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.

Britbillsfan Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 How did they get this #5 ranking? Do they just draw names out of a hat? 712295[/snapback] Pretty much......
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 How did they get this #5 ranking? Do they just draw names out of a hat? 712295[/snapback] I think they were ranked #5 in the US...
crackur Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 this proves once again, how much every nation hates the US I tell you........this is the reason I dont watch soccer......they lay out there taking the time off the clock, which never stops running.....which is a dumbass rule....... atleast with REAL football, the clock stops for dumbass fake people
kegtapr Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Good for Ghana. They deserve it and their nation will appreciate it. Go England!
