please go back to playing your nerd Final Fantasy or collecting Anime dolls. The red should have been a no call (Marta jumped and then fell) and the PK save should have stood (Solo didn't move off her line).

Yes she did. And they got the shoot back also because there was invasion from the US team. Watch the replay. It was correct to call it back.

did you people see the replay? some american player entered the box before the ball started moving.

that's not why the penalty was retaken though. and just further emphasizes how inept the refs are since that's not why the called for the retake.

ty_hot · Jul 10, 2011

The call was not because of the goalkeeper, it was because there were US players inside the area!

Rename this thread to: Shit Ref and Whining Brazilians=USA Loss.

I haven't seen this much whining and histrionics since the last time Barcalona played. Fuck this shit.

I cannot remember the last time I was this angry over a soccer call.

Yeah, it's been a lot better than I expected. England/France and Germany/Japan were excellent matches.

Buckethead · Jul 10, 2011

They need to stop letting Vox Pop touch the ball...

Times like these, I think of good ol' Mourinho.

"10 men, 2 lines of 4 in the back and 1 man up front. Mission impossible"

Why is it in the normal sports I watch there is never ever this much controversy over calls that easily help decide matches as when I try and watch soccer?

I like the sport and all (especially to actually play), but I swear watching American Football, Bastketball, Baseball, Tennis etc... seems like it's a big rarity when the refs/umps help decide a game outcome. Yet I think everytime I try and watch a major soccer tourny there end up being multiple games decided by calls such as this. It's the ONLY sport I watch like this too, and quite frankly makes the sport semi unwatchable because of it.

PS: This is all irregardless of which way the call goes.

I can get over the red card. I refuse to get over taking away Hope Solo's ridiculous miracle save.

Fuck dem crooked ass refs.

Why are they booing Marta? It's not her problem that the referee made a mistake?

for complaining

The yellow was because she complained. You don't get a yellow for moving off the line.

Brobzoid · Jul 10, 2011

Ref ain't crooked. Just blind//inept/inexperienced. Like all the other ones we've seen this tournament.

It happens pretty often in a lot of sports..I can't give a percentage, but many baseball and basketball games are decided by the refs/umps. American football less so but it still happens...

GhostWriter24 · Jul 10, 2011

USA showing alot of pressure, another corner here. Goal coming?

Grover Cleveland · Jul 10, 2011

Hope won't give up another goal this match. She's now on GOD mode.

But the defense will find a way to fuck it up, ala USMNT

Because she whines incessantly

Frank the Great · Jul 10, 2011

referees never call back penalties. even if there WERE usa players in the box. such bullshit.

they (we) usually only call it back if somebody does something real obvious to get an advantage. a ref doesn't take a save away from a keeper based on a player in the box unless he has something against that team.

LOL Might be why American Football tends to be my favorite sport... less refs more play on the field.... still I think football/soccer just seems at a different level than sports I normally watch on a day to day basis.

the soccer governing body is corrupt and don't care to spend money on technological solutions. it's extremely annoying and I'm getting turned off enough to stop watching the damn sport.

Sky Chief · Jul 10, 2011

Yeah well, the US player just dived too. Both sides doing it unfortunately.

Fuck off haters. I love Marta. Up until this match, I was going for the U.S. Could never root against my girl though.

If you mean Wambach, she does that constantly so it hardly counts. It's embarrassing really, she's the biggest player on the field yet leaves you with the impression that she's a delicate little flower with as easy as she hits the ground.

SouthernDragon · Jul 10, 2011

Shit sucks, man, but the American ladies are playing something fierce.

Brazil definitely does not deserve the win, imo. Sometimes it looks like Brazil is the team that is down a player.

yellow submarine · Jul 10, 2011

She tripped herself over when she felt the brazil player on her back. I guess you could call it "winning the freekick". I don't like it when I see it in La Liga and I don't like it here.

skybaby · Jul 10, 2011

this thread is hilarious. you americans know shit about football LOL
