Why is it when they disallow a goal with England they all whine and cry and

[kristen]

say it wasn't fair? But when it happens to the U.S it is part of the game?

In the repl;ay the ball was more than a foot (30 cms) over the line. Strongest evidence for the worst referee's call in World Cup history so far. He needs eyeglasses.

The US was a slightly acceptable mistake, and it was in a group stage game. This was a decision that could ahve changed the game, because it would have been 2-2 at the time, and it was a clearly wrong decision in an elimination game! I hope nothing like that happens against Portugal on Tuesday...

There is a difference between being offside and a disallowed goal even though the ball was a yard behind the line.

Who said that then?

Both teams had disgraceful decisions against them. It's embarrassing for football.

 

[Gremlin]

because if you score a goal it should mean you get a point and dont you dare start telling me that you yanks never complain about a game

 

[kailey]

I was thinking the same thing.

I completely agree that it was unfair on the US to disallow their goals. No one can deny that, an injustice is an injustice. However, I didn't whine or cry about the US disallowed goals because I don't support them, and therefore don't really care. Surely that's obvious?

What this shows though, for any team, is that we really need goal line technology.
