Ironically enough, if this were in hockey, both sides (hardcore fans) would concede that the result was completely undermined by the official. But because it's a sport that you guys don't follow too closely, and the main connection is through nationalism, there's no compromise. Seems kinda backwards.

What if they all rode dragons?
That'd be a huge fucking stadium.
Dragons aren't good with their feet.
Americans demonstrating their ignorance again.

Seems pretty clear the ref decided it to me... The issue is whether it was decided correctly. At least in reference to the first call. The second didn't seem very controversial.
If you need a hug after getting crushed by team red, white, and blue you know I always have some in stock.
This is where I'd place some hogan playing guitar in front of an American flag background GIFS if I wasn't on my phone.
Has nothing to do with the US for me. I love soccer and Canada deserved that game.
- it had never been made before. never. and keepers always go past the 6-second mark.
- there was no warning from the ref
- the call was made in the 78th min of a semi-final game
Second call
- did not warrant a penalty kick
- more egregious 'handling the ball' foul against rapinoe from 10 min earlier was not called

Dang Soc, you're starting to sound like SuperSonic when he complains about the refs when they make calls against the Leafs.

Wins are earned.
I figured you'd take losing in stride a bit better as a fellow spurs fan, soc.
Canadian keeper was warned by the linesman, still a shitty call, but that's life. Canada stole the bronze today for their first team sport summer medal since 1936, be happy!

Absolutely nothing hockey related.
Foreshadowing of the next couple months.
Canada's been on the three-season calender since 1882. We're just glad to be invited.
And that gold came from Trampolines. C`mon.

Hey, CBA negotiations aren't nothing.
Vancouver Olympics is Best Olympics.
The best part about it was that they allowed us [Olympic Workers] to work as much overtime (even double-pay-time) as we wanted. Friend of mine worked >75h/week and got LOADS of 1.5x and 2x paytime in.

DANG IT, NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's going to cost us an arm and a leg which is not what he is worth. I swear if we trade Flip or Nyquist for him, I'm going break all sorts of rage barriers!

Appreciated. I don't know soccer like I know hockey so I'll defer to you on this one. Seems like a pretty clear fuckup.
You're still a pansy when it comes to hockey.
At first, I thought it was about some signings.
Then, I still thought it was about some signings.
Then, I saw it was about the Winter Classic.

That's the only good news us Wings fans can have right now. :/
Hey at least he has a similar cap hit. It'll be like he never left
From "The Official Usain Bolt ballwashing thread" started by Manics back in '08 :lol :lol :lol
No shame at all Manics?
lots of fallen comrades in that thread
You're right, Feaster would be dealing from a position of strength on this one.
That being said, the only trade for Jay Bouwmeester I'd be interested in from the Red Wings, would be for Filppula and Brendan Smith. Calgary desperately wants another Center, and losing JBo would leave a pretty big hole on their back end.
However, Filppula is a UFA at the end of the season, and that scares me, so there would have to be a real nice prospect in there to get me to bite. Heck, with a lockout looming, Filppula may not even play another game before becoming a free agent.
I'd actually be more interested in seeing a deal with the Flyers, involving Couturier and a 2nd round pick for Bouwmeester and perhaps someone like Mikael Backlund.
If Feaster isn't seeing offers along those lines, he should just hang up the phone.
That being said, I firmly believe that Jay Bouwmeester is a Flame on opening night. He's a top 1-2 defenceman, with a NTC clause, and not once have I ever seen Feaster say he was interested in moving him.

Obligatory Panthers middle finger for J--Bow.
Bouwmeester would most likely thrive under Babcock's tutelage. That said, I have a good feeling he will rebound nicely now that Sutter is no longer misusing him. Hopefully Hartley has a good strategy to utilize Bouw's strengths instead of forcing him to be a shutdown, 25-30 minute a night kind of guy.
I would much prefer to see him playing 20 minutes a night, in offensive scenarios. He still skates better than most, and can pass with great accuracy. He also jumps into the rush with the best of them, when he's being allowed to.
He's 6'4, 215lbs, but he is NOT a physical defenceman, and that's all Sutter wanted him to be. It was frustrating as hell to watch.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA......... There is no way in the world my friend, none at all that JBo is worth Smith, wouldn't even do that straight up.
There is a distinct possibility that Filppula could be had next July 1 without giving up any assets.
Unless you were able to negotiate with him beforehand, he's not someone I'd be interested in trading for unless a piece of value was attached to the deal, that's all I'm suggesting.

Very true, I figure Holland will get a deal going to resign him here once we have a new CBA, but still I highly doubt we would get rid of Smith who is our TOP prospect for a defenseman on a bad contract who is rather questionable.
