World Cup 2010

to me there is a difference "in the eyes of the referee" between failing to call a real foul, and imagining(and calling) one that did not occur. i hope his blunder does end his career.

i also don't see why they could not allow instant replay at least at the world cup level. they could handle it similarly to how the our american football teams do it. then we would be proved right and the win would be counted or we would all shut up.

I just need to hear his side of the story. If it's equally ridiculous, I'm all for it. If he's the equivalent of "I swear I saw it and I disallowed the goal because the foul happened before it went in. I did not see all the other fouling in the box and on replay I made the wrong call" or something, I'd feel better.

It's a huge change for soccer to allow replay so I don't know, it would need a LOT of restrictions.

I doubt that we'll ever hear a real explanation of the bad call. If we do, I would want FIFA to address it properly. Sepp Blatter has already said that nothing is going to be done about it.

Thank heavens that Britain tied their game, too!

Yes essentially now:

Current status

SVN - 4 points
ENG - 2 points
USA - 2 points
ALG - 1 points

Last games are USA v ALG, and ENG v SVN

If Algeria beats us, we're out.

If we beat Algeria, we're in.

If we draw Algeria:
And Slovenia wins, we're in
And England wins, we're out.
They draw, we're -probably- in barring a really high scoring draw on their end and 0-0 draw on our end.

I'm praying that we have an easier time with Algeria than Britain had!

Well even if we draw we're ok, we need to toughen up our defense though.
