The refs have been awful today. The Germany game earlier had the worst ref of the tournament so far. Really, incredibly, poor stuff.

2-1, Donovan with the goal.

Man, I love being right

Did Slovenias keeper just flinch and then move his body AWAY from the ball?

Your lot came really close to scoring again just minutes after that as well. Fantastic game this.

I see more ball-blaming coming after this game.

I mean, it can't be that different from the ones they used in world cup '06 can it?

Well maybe the ball is making things a bit more uncomfortable. Theres been lots of complaints and goalkeeping errors so far in the tournament. But then again Germany have apparantly been using it for months and they still slipped up today. Its a level playing field, as far as im concerned.

Slovenias keeper cant blame the ball for that one though. He twisted his body and his face out of the path of the ball and conceded. Thats got nothing to do with misjudging the direction of the ball, thats getting out of the line of fire completely.

2-2, 10 minutes left.

What a game!

I'm hearing we just got screwed by ref's again. Should it be 3-2?

Yep. You had a goal disallowed despite the fact that it was the US players being fouled in the build-up. Absolute shocker of a decision.
