And but for the idiot Mali referee, it would have been 3-2. If there is any country which deserves to win the motherlode, it is the US. Can you imagine what that would mean for the game of soccer????? The quality of the game will automatically rise across the board. And I heard this was this knucklehead's first time officiating a world cup game. I don't care what FIFA does in all the four years leading up to the world cup, but when the world cup is here, they need to check their idiocies at the gate. All new referees must first be linesmen/women for ten games before they can be referees. If the US does not reach the quarterfinals, I think we should close our embassy in Bamako. Mauritania did it. And that was for no good reason. We have a good reason to suspend diplomatic relations with Mali for a year at least. And what kinda name is SLOWVENIA???????????????????????????

 

England needs to get some fire in the belly. How can they allow themselves to be beat by ALgeria???????

 

Chris the worst teams in this world cup are Nigeria and France. I think they should not be allowed to continue beyond this point. They should save us all the angst and go home. In the same plane. We're sick of this mediocrity. The French have graver issues to deal with than compete in the world cup soccer.

 

I am not very pleased at this moment.
