winterbadger | US-Ghana halftime

Rage! That was not a penalty! Likewise about half the cards this guy has given out were barely fouls, let alone cards. What a crock! He did the same thing in the Brazil-Australia match, massacring the game and basically handing it to the Brazzies, who dove to the turf every time an Oz was nearby.

OTOH, the US team as it's playing now doesn't deserve to go through. We are lacklustre, slow, unimaginaitve, unaggressive, and seemingly unable to complete a series of passes without giving the ball away.

About the only bright spot is Ben coming in, and por Claudio had to go out for that to happen. I hope his knee is OK. :-(
