Re: USA vs England

Wheels said:
I tend to agree with you there.. I'll quote what I told a friend of mine on facebook...

"winners look for ways to overcome bad calls before they can happen. If the US is ever going to be on the same levels as the Brazils, Spains, Italys, Netherlands, Portugals, Germanys, Argentinas, Frances (although this year they suck) (need i name more countries?) then they will have to have more poise than they showed in the first half. They were heavy favorites to win, and the pressure was too much for them in the first half. IF they are EVER going to be in the top tier of Football, then they will need the poise, and ability to put teams away before bad calls ever happen. That said I agree it was a bad call, but dwelling on it when the team still holds its own destiny, is not the attitude the other teams would have."

England never scored on Algeira, US scored twice (although one was taken away on what looks to be a bad offsides call). US also should have beat Slovenia but for a third goal inexplicably disallowed. On the other hand, if the Alegerian crossbar goal goes in or Green handles a relatively soft strike by Dempsy, the US could be walking away with 2 points and a disappointing end to the WC. I agree England's probably the better team, but in hindsight your flaming of US Soccer is looking a little foot-in-mouth now, which I find amusing.

One thing I can't figure out--why don't they allow instant replay? I mean christ, there are only a few points scored every game. Seems like they should have a referee sitting in a booth who can review the goal while the game continues on.

Because the head of Fifa is an absolute ****. He believes in keeping the game traditional.

As much as i would appreciate replay, I think i would be more evolutionary to have the line judge be able to confer with the head ref and overturn calls if he has a better view.

They're doing that in the Europa League -- I guess as a test.
 
I meant to say this earlier. My absolute favorite thing about soccer? No commercials!!!!!!!!! Fucking rad. I despise "TV time outs."
