It ends in a 1-1 tie. The US outplayed Italy today but the dumbass ref gave them two red cards on plays that should have been a yellow card or just a foul. The US should have won this game. The ref was terrible, not just for the US but a little for Italy too. Like those commentators said he should not be reffing anymore games.This game is not going to piss me off more than when this stuff happened to the Suns because the US outplayed the 8-1 favorite and they got their much-needed point. Also, a win wouldn't have helped anymore than this tie because in both situations Italy would still have to beat the Czech Republic and we'd still have to beat Ghana. At least this point would put us over the Czech Republic if that stuff happens.What really pisses me off is that we lose Pablo and Eddie Pope for the next game against a tough(thanks for the group FIFA) Ghana team. I think after he was benched that Beasly will do much better in the next game so those losses shouldn't kill us. He did show a lot more effort today.Oh and Italy has a great team so I think they will be the Czech's. Koller might still be out for them and I also think the Czech's have 1 or 2 suspensions like the US does. Some people are saying Italy is better so I hope the show up vs. the Czech Republic.I just found out the same guy that reffed today's game was suspended in 2002 because of the same reasons he should be suspended now...he sucks.
Czech lost only one guy in to the red card. And I think USA will lose to Ghana so they can finally Go Home.
You don't think they will lose,you're much smarter than that , you WANT because you hate the US so much.
Why? I don't get that and I don't get why the US hates France. Is it jealousy that the US owns in the Olympics and soccer is all Europe has over them? :-D
First of all America SUCKS IN SOCCER period. Europe doesn't like America 1 casue of Bush 2 casue American people act weird. AND WE EUROPEANS ARE THE BEST EVER IN SOCCER PERIOD.
No, Americans USED to suck at soccer. The team has been getting better and better whether you want to admit it or not.And you think most Americans like Bush? :-D EVERYONE hates Bush. Judging the US because of that dumbass it wrong. Also, Europeans act weird too, so do Asians...humans are just weird! And I'd say South America is the best in soccer, I'm sorry but it's the truth. If Ronaldo drops a few pounds Brazil would destroy any European team. Argentina is amazing also.Hey Mixx what team do you root for? I've been wondering since this thread started.
Well from the looks of it america sucks at soccer. They got lucky they even tied today. I am not a big soccer fan but I am going for the Nazi`s.
What do you mean they are lucky they even tied? They outplayed Italy the whole game and even with 2 bad calls by the refs, the red cards, they still stopped Italy from winning with only 8 players. Italy is lucky they even tied.
Well I do have to give USA some credit because they were a man down and were huge underdogs,especially after the loss to the Czech`s. But then again I know very little about soccer.
That's cool. I'm not like most Americans so I don't hate France. They are probably my favorite European team.
Yeah, the only team in the world I hate in any sport is the Lakers. But other than that I don`t see anything wrong with the US or any Europian teams.

If he didn't do that USA 0-2-0.America CAN'T even score a goal so for that THEY SUCK. If you can't score a goal You SUCK thats a fact.
They attacked a lot today and would have probably scored a goal or two if not for those stupid red cards they should have gotten. But yeah, that play was lucky.
Yeah, the refs were pretty bad. I am not sure but I think I heard that they wont be reffing in the world cup anymore because they did not let the players play the game and lets the beauty of the game be seen.
That ref was probably the worst ref in soccer. He's been suspended before too. Just some bad luck but it's over and I'm not too upset over it anymore.
Someone spit in his face too. God I forget who but I know someone did and this player was not wack he was a superstar. I think it was Zidane man I dont know. But I know Maradona spits in refs faces which he did 3 times.
