At the half, and a great game until the refs called the PK. Total BS for the second straight game from the refs. USA still has a chance, but at this point I'm finding a win hard to imagine...

We have no offense. Every time we get something going, one of our players finds a way to SUCK.

at this point it doesn't even matter. i think that bulls**t penalty kick just sealed our fate. it's really a shame too, because italy is winning their game at the half (1-0), and the Czechs are down to 10 men.

after watching this years world cup with interest, it disappoints me to realize that a lot of these games come down to the refs, and their terrible calls. 4 years can all go down the drain with one bad call.

Wrong.
Was a goddam good penalty.
Bro kicked the ball, scored a goal.
Dam fine goal.

EDIT I should point out, it might have been a bad decision to award the penalty, but it was well taken you must admit, ne?

welcome to the wonderful world of soccer 🙂

I'm hoping the US can come back - it would be a stirling fight back. Italy are helping them out, they just need some magic from someone and they're back in it. One more goal, then who knows?

I clearly should have gone with my gut instinct on this sport. Before this world cup started I new in my head that any game which involved players taking dives as part of some strategy is NOT worth my time. None the less I decided to give this sport a chance and have watched almost all of the games. Turns out I was right about the diving and sadly I have learned that the sport has yet another flaw and this one is fatal. It seems they have blind men running around the pitch hell bent on ruining the game. Pathetic. Soccer can go to hell.

Though we excel in all other fields, I think it is the patriotic duty of all Americans to continue ignoring this "sport."

You're just down on it because your country sucks at it. If the USA was winning you'd be jumping up and down and shouting 'Yeeeehaaaaaa' and the likes.
