Yes they did get screwed.
There were several questionable goals scored (or not scored) in the last WC and FIFA flat out said they would not allow cameras or instant replay any time soon.
This isn't 1972 anymore, they can't rely on a refs watch to tick off 90 minutes let alone wait on the ref to end the game at his leisure.
My boy Carlos Bocanegra isn't captain anymore so I don't have much interest this time around but it's always nice to see the US team do good in a true "world" championship tournament.

I do agree. Although I don't watch too much basketball football and baseball but aren't those sports using replays for the refs to make better decisions??? Many teams this wc got robbed of goals and got scored against due to bad ref decisions. On another note...Usa played a great game in my opinion. Coming back from 0:1 in the last 30 min of the game and turn it around to 2:1. Great effort. Imo the heat/humidity and comfort of thinking they had the game in their pocket played a huge role in Portugal scoring the goal in the last 50 seconds. Jurgen Klinsmann the coach which is also the only reason I started playing soccer at the age of 8 in Germany made huge mistake in my opinion. He should know his players better and should've built a "wall" in the back, guarding the one goal lead especially in the last 5 minutes of the game.

Everybody to the back and guard the lead!!! Simple yet effective. KISS!

I want to say the FIFA would only "consider" video at the goal line....
Which obviously hasn't happened.
I think they need that at the very least!
I agree, but they looked real solid for the most part and good luck to these boys on Thursday.

Fifa needs to take notes from the NFL hehe. There's 22 players on the field chasing one ball...impossible for 3 guys to see everything at all time.

I think US will at least pull a draw in the next game. A win is possible as long as they play as good as they did today in the 2nd half.

Good luck. I'll be watching and rooting for them.
