            Robbed. That was the worst call of the World Cup disallowing that goal. Disgusting officiating.

                Robbed indeed. I don't think it's a matter of motives, just not having a good ref can do that to you. What a shame.

                  i don't know, its more then just bad

                  there was no offsides
                  we did not foul anywhere, not even close
                  and at least 2 or 3 of our guys were being fouled on the play and should have resulted in a penalty kick

                  there was absolutely nothing there to be called on us, and plenty to be called on the other team

                    You are 100% right, but I think it's just a bad ref, not that he's having a secret agenda.

                      Does FIFA usually make statements to the media concerning specific questionable calls? I'd be very interested in hearing an explaination as to what happened there. I'm not usually one to blame a ref for a loss or a tie in any sport, especially one that takes 90 minutes of play to finish, but the GW being disallowed at nearly 90 minutes for no apparent reason is absolutely ridiculous.

                        Nope. If a mistake like that happens, usually the referee is no longer invited for other matches in the tournament. This will definately be this man's last game. Sucks for USA though.

                        BTW Red, if there was any agenda, it would favor the USA instead of midget Slovenia. We had a similar situation with Belgium where we lost 1-0 to Brasil and a goal was denied without valid reason. That's life without instant replay I guess, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

                          Horrible call....was it a mistake or did the guy have a grudge for whatever reason? Time to break out the waterboards.

                          There was absolutely no reason for the guy to flag that play. BS but that's how it goes.....stranger things have happened after all.

                          Great game though....the US team showed some balls and should have won against a pretty good team. Hopefully we make it out and can do some real damage.

                            For those of us who don't know all the rules, what constitutes offsides in that situation?

                              TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                                no we got screwed big time

                                the ref made a phantom call on us that took away the winning goal with a few minutes left in the game

                                if the goal would have stood it would have been one of the more impressive come from behind victories in world cup history

                                the ref is under huge fine. sounds like FIFA is having an emergency review of the game tape and that its likely he won't be doing anymore world cup games
