Did anyone see the US World Cup game this morning vs. Slovenia? Where the winning goal was disallowed for no apparent reason? :hissy I'm so sad for our guys, I hope they will still make it out of their group.

If you have no idea what I am talking about feel free to ignore me. :) I'm feeling patriotic and I'm a big sport lover. :giggle
 
Oh my Goodness Carolee I saw it!! I could not believe my eyes!! Gosh how I felt angry! It was an awesome GOAL by the way! Everyone here was discussing for several minutes trying to find out why he did that.....So unfair with USA Team!
 
I know Karen, what a surprise!

How big is the World Cup in your countries? Here in the US not too many people are interested, sadly.
 
This edition of the World Cup is so weird. Teams that are considered "favourites" to win the cup are loosing their games. Oh my goodness I hope Brazil won't go the same way though :D
 
Um, it's HUGE here. The country has pretty much come to a standstill and at least half the population is completely incapable to talking about anything else. Assuming their ears still work after listening to hour after hour of the vuvuzela's. Dh (who normally couldn't care less about football) is currently watching the England game with sound off and subtitles on cos the noise is doing his head in!

And it looks like the USA's chances of getting past the group stage aren't being at all hampered by us because we're rubbish right now.
 
he was SO not off sides. not to mention the wrestling match that was happening in front of them that should have been called, as well.....
 
We try to watch as many games as possible. We watched the game this morning though. One of my boys finally had to leave for work so he listened to it on the radio, and then my other son sat and watched while I got ready for work. I heard him yelling and screaming at the tv...I had to come watch...SOOOOOO NOT offsides!

One of my boys told me about a FIFA rule though, that if the officials look over what is a really bad call, they can not allow those judges to ever referee a World Cup game again. Not sure if I have all the infor correct, but I hope this happens to that ref. That has to be one of the worst calls ever.
 
and not only was the US robbed of the win, but it would have been the first time in world cup history a team had come back from being down 2-0 to win!

the linesman just really wasn't watching the right guy - he most likely couldn't see through the mess of people there in the mix and jumped the gun instead of taking 1second, hesitating (which is OK) and making a good call. ugh.
 
its huge here but i think when england get dropped that will be it,them bloody vuvezelas are so annoying
 
um yeah it was really strange!!!

Did anybody saw the game of germany!? 9 yellow cards!!!! NINE!
 
I heard about the results on the radio yesterday and then saw a re-play of the American game today. CRAZY Terrible terrible call. I hope that guy never refs a World Cup Match again.

And Jule the German upset was big!! What a bummer for you guys.
