Great game so far. 1 - 1 and Italy have just had a guy sent off for smacking McBride in the face with an elbow. Blood flowing everywhere. Come on USA!!
that italy goal was sick! I am watching it now! Nacho libre in 1 hour though. I will check back here for the winner
It's GREAT! More like Ice-Hockey than Soccer! 18-7 to the United States at half-time! (Fouls that is!) And, hey Parka... whaddya mean: "Come on USA!" ?
How so? all the sendings off have been spot on. Nasty, nasty elbow for the first. Lunging tackle with studs showing that could have broke an ankle, and the third was a crap tackle from behind and he didn't win the ball - easy second yellow.
explain how? seriously, all sendings off were correct. Rather the players who got sent off Sucked both ways.
Well his main "suckness" was that he was whipping out the cards inappropriately in a game like this... should let the "boys" play the game. He fucked the game basically for everybody by gimping both teams without real need. I don't really think any of the send-offs were correct. But that is just my opinion, and it is a judgment call. The US commentators, at least, doubted that this ref would see another game.
haha seriously? even the first card - the blatant elbow to the face? Did you see his eye? its called the rules for a reason
