U.S. vs Italy

So McBride gets elbowed in the fucking face, blood pooring from underneath his eye, and the guy on Italy gets a red card, and we tackle a guy a second late and get a red card?

Bullshit fucking refs, man.

We outplayed those wops and should've taken this game. We'd be set for the next round if we did.

They're quick and played a flat Czech team, same way we played a flat Italian team. Who'd have thought that the U.S. and Ghana would be in such good shape at the end of this round?

If we play against Ghana the way we did today I think we've got a real good chance.

Ghana and Chec repulic, I dont italy in the next round (N)

I will say this... even with only 9 players, the US outplayed the Italians today, and that shocks me. I will agree even that the first red card was deserved for the US, but to give a second yellow to Pope like that, 2 minutes into the second half is atrocious... that ref was a wanker, and an idiot. He booked a total of 8 different people in the match I think, it wasn't that sloppy.

Quick note on the ref who's getting bagged on today.......

Uruguay's World Cup referee among five banned

MONTEVIDEO, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Uruguay handed six-month bans to five of its top referees on Wednesday including Jorge Larrionda, who only two days earlier was named by FIFA to officiate at this year's World Cup finals.
Five more referee's were warned but not suspended, Matias Vazquez, president of the Uruguayan Football Association's (AUF) School of Referees, told Reuters.

Vazquez said FIFA would be informed of the ban and that soccer's world governing body would routinely be expected to endorse it, causing Larrionda to miss the tournament.

The bans were announced after a controversial three-month investigation by the AUF into alleged irregularities.

Critics said the AUF had not made it clear what the irregularities were. Media reports speculated the investigations were sparked by claims made by other referees.

Watched the second half of that match and was amazed at how empty the pitch was!
Did you win in the end?



"Paranoid of Every Sound..."
