Screwing American teams by injecting politics into world-level sporting events is actually encouraged. I expect that not only will he continue to ref in this World Cup, he will be lauded for his outstanding performance.Is there any way this guy continues to ref in this world cup? Lalas said it best - "He was a disgrace". I think replay needs to be implemented into the world cup just for reasons like this.
Offsides is not a judgement call. You are or you aren't. Replay could easily apply for offsides calls. In any case, I think the goal was disallowed for a foul rather than offsides.

To clarify, THH said it was a judgement call which should not be subject to instant replay review. He then went on to say that the goal was disallowed for offsides. I was pointing out that if it had been offsides (and not a foul), as he believed, I would disagree with his opinion that it was a judgement call.The whistle was blown before Edu even touched the ball. The call was a foul not offsides.
I wish I could add a poll to this - Biggest screw-up: Coulibaly or Jim Joyce
Just sayin'...
I want Obama to invade Mali before I wake up tomorrow morning.
In order to receive calls down the stretch we need more hooligans to
follow our team. Honestly any self respecting European team's fan would
of burnt down the stadium by now.

Lets invite the team back to Ames, buy em a few drinks and suffer together on what could have been.
I said it was offsides because that's what was on the screen during the game. Obviously, ESPN (and thus I) had it wrong.
Was it really necessary to resort to namecalling? I'm far from the first person to suggest the US tends to get screwed in international competitions.The whistle was blown before Edu even touched the ball. The call was a foul not offsides.
You're an idiot.
