USA didn't scored. Italy scored both.... just for the heck of it.

Really? I thought the ref did a good job, i mean the american player almost ripped that italian players foot off on that tackle, thats an easy red in my books, questionable refing would have to go to the ref who did the portugal game, figo gets kicked in the face and doesnt even get any justice. thats bull

You think so?? Have you ever seen a tackle before? that **** was a normal tackel maybe a bit late bud def not deserving of a red card. Yellow at most. And the Pope red card was crap.

Funny that the ref was banned from the sport a few years ago for questionable calls... funny that he comes back to ref against the US... 20 some fouls to 10 fouls is def not even calling at all. Ref was paid off by someone and he ruined the game and I feel bad for anyone who paid money to go watch a terribly called game

The tackle was pretty violent man, it was called well, and yes i did see it well, im portugese so i grew up just watching soccer, so i know wen i see a tackle deserves a red or not....

he could've easily broken that guys ankle with that tackle, I agree with the red card.

Thought USA was unlucky not to get a goal or 2 though, they played alot better in the second half but overall I think their passing was a bit poor.
All the top teams have looked crap this WC though, don't know why but no one seems bothered to try very hard.

I agree, it seem most teams go with the defend then counter style so that sorta slows the game a bit....
