Must be really windy out there. I keep seeing the Italians get blown over.

MrBug708 · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

Bullshit

cthomer5000 · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

Pope you dolt.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

OK, now Pope is gone, who says this ref isn't getting paid off. 2 reds in 2 minutes.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

what a joke

MrBigglesworth · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

How about that one MIJB?

ISiddiqui · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

NO WAY!! BULLSHIT!

cartman · 06-17-2006, 03:04 PM

WTF? How was that a 2nd yellow?

MrBug708 · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

Still think he's a good ref MIJB?

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

The world will just not let us win. We get a cheap goal to tie and they toss 2 players? Awful.

Karlifornia · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

These refs are SHIT

If it was obvious to me, how come Arena didn't spot it?

tucker rocky · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

Can I commit a homicide on that ref?

Coder · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

THAT, on the other hand is NO yellow card even.. that was a bullshit call.

Eaglesfan27 · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

THAT is BS. I can see the argument for the 1st red card on the tackle, but that was not worthy of a yellow card. That was total BS.

Northwood_DK · 06-17-2006, 03:05 PM

If you got a yelow card you just dont make a tackle like that...

JonInMiddleGA · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

Okay, even I know THAT was bad beyond words.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

Got to put some blame on The Bruce for that one. He's seen what crap this ref has been calling and should have subbed him out like Totti was taken out earlier.

DaddyTorgo · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

wow. way for the ref to ruin the fucking game. this is such sucky bullshit it's not even funny. it's a goddamm fucking joke.

AlexB · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

That was harsh though, both of the fouls Pope was carded for were fouls, but were they both yellows? Don't think so. A lot of the problem is that it seems like almost any foul is yellow now - the refs don't leave themselves any margin of error

GoldenEagle · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

What a joke. FIFA is a fucking joke. That is insane. Just incredible.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

Now another Italian is faking. Unfucking believable. I'd fucking walk off.

cthomer5000 · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

I expect a miraculous recovery the second this guy is on the sideline....

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

Can we get a yellow for umm, let's see DIVING

bronconick · 06-17-2006, 03:06 PM

This is retarded. Someone get the Italians some skirts.

DaddyTorgo · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

i'm surprised there's no red-card there!

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

He looks, sees where the ball is going, takes 3 steps, then goes down.

He didn't even touch the player!!! He hit the ball and experly avoided touching his legs at all.

tucker rocky · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

A blatant dive there by the Italians.

JonInMiddleGA · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

Now lemme see ... what nation is it that's currently embroiled in a fixing scandal?

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

A stretcher for that? This is the dumbest sport on the planet.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

20-7 on fouls. What a joke.

More like 15-2 on dives.

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

A stretcher for that? This is the dumbest sport on the planet.

TroyF · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

Simply terrible. An absolute joke.

But again, we know how he's calling it, we know the guys a jack ass. We know he's a moron who is as blind as a bat.

So why the hell do you tackle from behind in that situation? Just stupid.

I'm not sure who is more idiotic at this point, the refs or the American team.

cthomer5000 · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

It's a miracle! He's up and walking and ready to return to play!

DaddyTorgo · 06-17-2006, 03:07 PM

3 red cards in one half? this is a fucking joke.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:08 PM

Keller just kicked it at the stretcher

SI

Come on - it was a foul, he caught the player, there was no need to give a 2nd yellow for it - that was the ref's mistake. Definite foul though.

We've seen a miracle. A truly inspirtational story to see a guy recover from what was obviously such a serious injury.

MIJB, you would hate to see the US beat Italy. You would hate to see the US become good at soccer. Everyone on the board knows you are a eurosnob. Always have and always will be.

Frankly, you and your conspiracy theories have become tiresome.

1) It was a two footed tackle which is AT LEAST an automatic yellow card.
2) He got the man and not the ball which makes it POSSIBLY a red card

So the red card is not out of the question. Having said that I am cheering for the USA because I hate Italy and my neighbourhood is full of annoying Italian soccer fans.

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:09 PM

All you have to do is fall in this game and a foul is called. The US needs to fall and roll around more to win.
