Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

No fix, but the referee was horrible all night. The penalty was shocking, and I doubt he gets to ref again the rest of the tournament.

He might get another group stage match, but I doubt he gets the call for a knockout stage match.
 
You guys are not seriously just tossing all World Cup action in this thread, are you?

Quit with the excessive meta-threading
 
If it pleases JDawg...


"If that was a penalty, we should be playing basketball," Kovac said. "Those kinds of fouls are penalised there.
"That is shameful, this is not a World Cup referee. He had one kind of criteria for them and another for us. The rules were not the same.
"I don't think anybody, anywhere in the stadium, saw this as a penalty.
"If you continue like this you will have 100 penalties. I think 2.5 billion people watching on TV saw this was not a penalty.
"This was ridiculous and if we continue in this way we will have a circus.
"Fred is an 85-kilogram [187-pound] man and I don't believe he can be brought to the ground in such a manner.
"We better give it up now and go home. We talk about respect, Croatia didn't get any."
 
Mutually assured destruction aside... I really, really, really want these two to go full on nuclear against one another.

Platini on Blatter: ‘I am supporting him no longer, it’s finished.’
 
Every time I want to give soccer another chance a game like Brazil happens. That was the equivalent of giving Wade 50 free throws for a successful flop.
 
Trust me DCD, anyone who has ever played the game was furious as well.

I know that people that love football will miss you joining in on the fun! Take care of yourself.
 
diving in soccer really sucks.

figured Brazil will be good enough to not have to resort to it.

It does, just as flopping in NBA basketball does. Or ignoring the three second rule. Or gimmicks like moving the ball to the other side of the court upon calling timeout after inbounding the ball.
 
Paid to get the in flight DirectTV package just so I could watch MY CAMEROON beat the Mexicunts
