That ref flat out cheated for Slovenia. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he was bought off.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:46 AM) The defender had Bradley wrapped up in a bear hug practically....who did he actually call the foul on? He called one of the worst offsides calls ever. This guy is clueless. Well at least thats what I'm assuming. No matter what he called he stole a victory from the US.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) Referee's from Mali I believe they just said. Well at least he's consistent. Consistently biased against the US. He should be reprimanded. What a f***ing joke.

There was clearly no offside and if anything the US should get a penalty kick. f***ing ridiculous. Slovenia can thank the refs if they even get a point in this game.

Wow brutal call. f*** this

Holy s*** great play. 2-2 game

Another phantom foul against the US in the box.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:11 AM) I wouldn't qualify it as one of the stupidest decisions ever. I think people are overreacting. Yes, it hit his hand, but no, it was not intentional. It didn't cost them a goal. Yes, Findley is now out of the next match, but people wanted Buddle to start over him anyway. Worst call ever? Ashamed? Hardly. It very well could have cost them a goal considering they were in great position to score and he stopped it in the middle of play. And if it isn't intentional and you don't move your hand to the ball it doesn't even matter if it hits his hand, it isn't a foul.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 10:04 AM) Yes it did, it came off his head and grazed off the top of his left hand. Regardless, it was certainly not intentional, and as the announcer said, "one of the worst decisions I have ever seen." I watched that play 3 or 4 time and the ball never changes direction at all so if it hit his hand it barely touched it if it touched at all. Either way the ref should be absolutely ashamed.

Great strike by Donovan. The US is back in this.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 09:49 AM) Eh it was a handball so probably a foul, but not a yellow card obviously, but the refs are pretty pedantic on anything in the penalty box like that against the attacking team. I just don't think the US have enough up front to score more than once in the 2nd half. Dempsey and Donovan need to get much more involved for them to have any chance. LOL it never even hit his hand.

It is unbelievable how much that bulls*** yellow card changed the game. The US almost certainly scores there and it is a 1-1 game, and instead minutes later it is 2-0.

Well at least this should get Bob Bradley finally fired.

Absolutely horrible call. Wow the reffing today has been pathetic. Where do they find these guys

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jun 18, 2010 -> 07:07 AM) wow, this ref has single handily ruined this game. He should never be allowed to do another world cup game again.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:59 PM) Hopefully he realizes he needs to GTFO of Cleveland to get that done.. No s***, if he signs with the Bulls ide be willing to bet they are AT LEAST in the NBA finals, if not next years champs.. there is just a much, much better supporting cast around him there than the crap he would have in Cleveland.. Lebron, Rose, Noah and then either Bosh or Stoudemire and the Bulls would be by FAR the best team in the NBA. All you would need to do is add some shooters around those guys to play the Steve Kerr, BJ Armstrong, Paxson role and you have potentially one of the best teams ever not just for next season.

BTW, Lebron>Kobe as a player and it really isn't that close. I don't care if the Cavs lost early, if Lebron had Gasol, Bynum, Artest and Odom he wins a title without a champion.

There has never been a superstar who did less to earn a title in the NBA finals than Kobe this year. He sucked.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:52 PM) I see no reason why anyone should hate LeBron He dances during blowouts. The horror.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) You can't possibly hate Kobe more than Lebron. I do and it isn't even close. People hate Lebron for what? Dancing and acting cocky as hell. I fail to see how Kobe's underbite bulls*** he does only when things are going well is really all that different.

Kobe was damn close to having about the biggest turnover in NBA history.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) I usually would be pissed to see that too, especially to a PG, but since it's Rondo... I just laugh. I hate Kobe infinitely more than I've ever hated another NBA player. I can't stand anything about the guy.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) I like how Gasol can just throw Rondo out of the way for that rebound.. geez Refs have played a huge role in this game. Terrible job by them.

And another Kobe brick but he is bailed out by a teammate. He has been f***ing horrible tonight.

And that Gasol basket shouldn't have counted but hard to blame the refs on that one.
