Poor Officiating in the US Loss

The red card in the US loss was a joke. FIFA should be ashamed for assigning the ref, it really changed the course of the game. While it was a foul and possible a yellow card it was not a sending off offense. It appeared the ref was on the take from the Italian side which has happened before in Italian soccer in the Seire A.

The two goals that cost the US the game were given up not because the good guys were playing a man down but due to a lack of pressure put on the ball. It really is that simple. If they would have been playing pressure, cover, balance then the goals would not have been allowed. See for yourself.
