I'll be the first to admit the USA was totally hosed today but I'd like to know why that box announcer Julie Foudy doesn't bring up the fact that at the 1999 World Cup, the USA goalie Brianna Scurry was about five feet off her line when she stopped the Chinese penalty kick in shoot out. The referee should have let China retake the penalty kick but didn't. I had China that day and got robbed. I got it back today. Plus some.
fifa is a JOKE. You can't win over the f*** ref.

It wasn't just that penalty kick, it's about every other penalty kick EVER taken. The keeper is almost always off the line early. The World Cup is not the time to start making sweeping changes in how PK's are called.

It also seemed like it was called awfully late. That is another thing that really pisses me off. It's like the Brazilian players got in her ear and than the official just caved in. I don't know i got to see replay again. Fuming over this $hit.

So you just happened to miss the blatant handball by the US that wasn't called? Either way Brazil deserves to lose. US dictate the pace and controlled the game down 1 man for more than 60 minutes. Brazil up a goal kept trying to attack instead of slowing pace and controlling the pitch. It was awful ball and it shows Brazil is still not physically and mentally strong to win championships
To boot Brazil made no tactical substitution to get fresh legs on the pitch for defensive purposes...just terrible
