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.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
