<p>Bad call on the offsides, but a bad call to give the free kick in the first place. I guess that’s going to be forgotten.</p>

<p>He made horrible calls throughout the game. This ref needs to stop refereeing. Period.</p>

<p>Agree, the ref sucks!!!</p>

<p>Africans should not be allowed to referee, god damn African refs.</p>

<p>I’m just glad that the U.S. tied. They should have won though.</p>

<p>

Lawl, are you trying to make people call you a racist so that you can tell them that you aren’t?</p>

<p>I missed all but the first and last goal. Why is everyone so angry at the ref?</p>

<p>^he made a bad call that discounted a USA goal.

There’s no need to make comments like that.</p>

<p>I’m glad they tied, but I’m not going to lie - that game should have been a 3-2 final score. If the US misses out on progressing by 2 points or 1 or 0, I am going to be ****ed.</p>

<p>I’ll say it again - they didn’t deserve the free kick.</p>

<p>^^^ Lol, no that was anger spurred. But really, that ref made a horrible call.</p>

<p>They didn’t deserve a lot of the other calls against them either.</p>

<p>If they played the first half as brilliantly as they did the second, they could have won handily.</p>

<p>I just rewatched it and I suppose that is true, TCBH.</p>

<p>To make things best for the US, pull for an Algeria win today (not a draw like the announcers were pointing out).</p>

<p>An Algeria win would make it: Slovenia 4 Algeria 3 USA 2 England 1.</p>

<p>Then a USA win over Algeria would make it USA 5 Slovenia 4 Algeria 3 England 1.
Then an England win over Slovenia would make it USA 5 Slovenia/England 4 Algeria 3 and USA would get 1st.</p>

<p>I lawled at the guy pleading for a free kick after he tripped over the ball though.</p>

<p>For the U.S. to advance, do they need Algeria and England to tie?</p>

<p>Well USA advances if England wins and then they win on Wednesday and either Slovenia/England wins. Worse case scenario would be England wins today, then England and Slovenia draw putting Slovenia/England/USA in a 3 way draw with 5 pts, at which point you’d have to pray that USA beats Algeria by more than England beats Algeria (for goal differential).</p>

<p>Right now: Slovenia = +1, USA = 0, England = 0, Algeria = -1.</p>

<p>A draw between Algeria and England would put England at 2 points, so then a USA win would actually put them in as long as they beat Algeria by more than England would beat Slovenia.</p>

<p>Tbh, there’s a ton of different scenarios to hope for right now, but we’ll have a better picture at about 4:30 EST. I’m pulling for Algeria.</p>

<p>And I know this is pathetic, but did anybody else start crying of joy after that 2nd goal. I was screaming at first, and then they showed the man in the stands crying of joy and I lost it myself.</p>

<p>With Germany losing, it might actually be better to finish 2nd in the group. The US has the inside track there.</p>

<p>Did anyone watch Mexico v France last night?</p>

<p>Ok standings now</p>

<p>Slovenia: 4
USA: 2
England: 1
Algeria: 0</p>

<p>We need England to tie then lose, or tie then win. We need to win out.</p>
