World Cup in 11 days!

[dpricenator]

We got robbed. That 3rd goal should have stood as good. That dude was bear hugging our guy all the way across the line... Well at lease we didn't lose.

 

[SkinsFanLarry]

We was robbed! That 3rd and go-ahead goal by the USA should have allowed!

 

[GoingPostal]

Man USA 2-2 tie. that offical killed us, what was the call on that 3rd goal that was waived off

AWFUL call. Do the the refs do post game news conferences? I would expect something like that Baseball official who actually apologized for blowing the call. The same is called for here.

 

[dpricenator]

they said on of our guys was off-sides. Altough he the Slovenian had both arms wrapped around him, and was dragging him over the line. And he wasn't even part of the play. Bad call for sure.

 

[Cyrann]

Robbed

 

[kmckinn3]

Koman Coulibaly

:angerFU:

 

[Cyrann]

I would punch him in the face...

 

[Ed Monton]

You can't blame it all on one blown call. What were you guys doing down 2-0 to Slovenia in the fist place? :razz:

 

[swat253]

"I like dem dis large..."

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

"I like dem dis large..."

That is funny:headroll:

We were just letting Slovenia feel good about themselves for 45 minutes. It's not just one blown call, it was a game full of blown calls. Explain to me how the hell Findley got a yellow for a handball when the ball hit him square in the face? On the goal that was called back, there were three of our players getting mauled. Just a plain terrible game on the ref's part. I hope they don't allow him to officiate another game in the WC. Regardless, we should still be able to control our own destiny, but freaking Algeria looks pretty good.

EXACTLY. Def not just one call.

Sweet! We are looking much better since England tied Algeria.

SLV 4
USA 2
ENG 2
ALG 1

We can make it out of the group if we take down Algeria and Slovenia gives England end up with a draw. Or if we end up tied in pts with ENG, we will win because we have more goals! lookin good USA!

We advance in two scenarios, correct?

(1.) Win vs. Algeria

(2.) We tie Algeria and England ties Slovenia, but does not score more than (2) goals in said tie?

Matt, Goals don't count in ties, it equals 0-0

 

[Cyrann]

Matt, Goals don't count in ties, it equals 0-0

Goal differential counts as tie breaker, does it not?

If teams were level on points, they were ranked on the following criteria in order:

1. greatest number of points obtained in all group matches.

2. goal difference in all group matches.

3. greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.

4. If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows:

• 
  d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
  f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;

4. If teams remained level after all these criteria, FIFA would hold a drawing of lots...

No. USA advances if either:

a) They beat Algeria, or
b) ties Algeria while England ties Slovenia but has a total goal count that does not exceed that of the US' by 2.

Cool, thanks for that.

Yep that is how I heard it.
