    Maybe don't shoot this one - find the open head?

    Not if you had been at the pre-match FIFA referee's briefing.

    Tahitian ref. Biggest game he's reffed in his life.

    If Nigeria and us both could make penalties we would have won the group.

    I do not know where the refs are from but it cannot be CONCACAF because the US is playing and a ref cannot call teams from his/her conference.

    You have to shoot from that distance. Just maybe not have the guy take it who has shanked that exact free kick half a dozen times today already.

    Not playing Llanez until 60 minutes into game 3 looks like a big oversight.

    Tabs subs provided almost all the best attacking moments. Because his lineup was absolute trash. Boring 1-0 win, because Tab is a shit coach.

    Timo wanted to play France, the rest didn't.

    Game over, man. Game over.

    Especially with how dead Konrad obviously was.

    Llanez should have started this game, as probably should have Ledezma.

    Disagree. Getting the calls right is what matters. Unfortunately it may take a while for refs to be more comfortable w/the system. I don't mind delays if the call is right. I could have waited hours for the Frings call to be handled properly and I'm still bitching about it 17 years later.

    You can't credit someone with oversight who doesn't have vision in the first place.

    How the hell is he going to mature if he is not called out?

    It's not emotion. It's petulance. It's amazing how, just because someone is an athlete, those things get mixed up by people.

    And yes, I think people should be called out for not acting their age. He's 19, not 12.

    hopefully pomykal was really being rested and isnt actually hurt. richie a straight replacement for mendez? servania for durkin most likely too, despite cerrillo being thought of better in dallas? maybe just let pax pick who he wants to play with?

    No, Mendez did not play well, but I believe fatigue had a lot to do with that. Thanks, Tab, and thanks for the rest of your roster management.:rolleyes:

    Man, dreadful performance, our worst so far. Losing our two starting center mids to yellows probably means we're losing to whomever we play next regardless.

    Mendez has been truly awful today. And generally in this tournament hes either hot or cold, and too often its cold. His great moments with his left foot definitely dont make up for his poor giveaways and inability to get on the ball frequently. I quietly think Ledezma can do his job better.
