USA robbed

Absolutely ridiculous. Too bad there's no video replay. The worst offsides call in the history of US soccer.

It wasn't an offside's call, the call was a foul on the goal scorer Maurice Edu. However, there was no foul by Edu or anyone on the U.S. for that matter. It was an awfully officiated game. It reminds me of the U.S./Italy game where the ref gave out red cards like they were candy.

Overally, it was a good game to watch. The U.S. fought back and they clearly deserved to walk away with 3 points. Nontheless they are still in it and can still advance to the round of 16 with a win over Algeria.

The commentators on the ESPN broadcast orginally said it was an offsides call. But either way, there was no foul by the US players. In fact, Bradley was being bear-hugged by one of the Slovenian players so he couldn't get free. It was just absurd all around.

The commentators took back what they said, so it wasn't an offsides call. And like you said WE were the ones who were fouled! An absolute ridiculous call. He also called a yellow card on Finley for a hand ball when the ball never hit his hands! Thanks to this ref we are short-handed 2 points and we're losing Finley in the all-important match vs Algeria. Thanks ref!

It was a horrible call and horrible officiating all around. The US got jacked and the ref was making (or not making) bad calls all day. It happens all the time in futbol. Mexico got robbed too vs South Africa. If England beats Slovenia and the US wins its next game they will be fine.

Politics play a big part in soccer, so don't expect the US to get anything less than horrible treatment by officiating. It's a widely accepted fact of life that the refs are biased because they really only want certain teams to win. Part of the reason I don't follow soccer.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
