Absolute crock of shit. First they re-seed so France doesn't have to play a difficult team, and then Ireland gets fucked over by an aging player who won't be nearly the player he ever was in 2010. It's like when Brett Favre's old ass comes out of retirement and screws up every other team's season. Ugh. The French. Is there any good reason we saved their asses? TWICE?
Between the officiating and the coaching that mountian was just too much for our guys to overcome.
We still have more points that Mexico and their team has been in shambles. Hopefully they will return to their old ways. and miss out on the WC.
Yeah! Let's blame the officiating! As opposed to Donovan's usual big-game disappearing act, Bradley's usual odd substitutions, and the normal junior high decisionmaking of guys like Bocanegra and Feilhaber.
@The Gizmo from Pismo: I would say that getting a weak yellow card in a big game makes you a little indecisive. They should have done better but you can't deny that the officiating was crap.
@The Gizmo from Pismo: I can't say I understand how it was Landon's fault that we couldn't keep the ball long enough to get it to him.
It was the horrendous "passing" out of the back that did us in. As usual.
@UkraineNotWeak: Mexico and many of our CONCACAF opponents just have that little extra something we don't have... violent drug cartels in their fan bases.
@UkraineNotWeak: Neither. He was told that if he did a "good" job then there would be bottled water waiting for him after the game. If he does not do a "good" job he can drink from the tap.
@Barry White Stripes, Office LW: Apparently Torrado got a yellow but that just means that he can do what ever he pleases for the rest of the game. No way any Mexican player gets sent off.

Not a huge deal, but if UEFA were to consider instant replay, it would have no bearing on World Cup play.

If it had still been 1-1 there would've been 5 minutes.

If the game ends this way there will be hell to pay for my yard crew next week.
