i was highly impressed by the US performance today bc if any other team would have been in our situation they prob would have lost control and Italy would have been scoring left and right, unfortunatly the ref cost the US i would say 2 pts, that i believe they deserve after fighting off a soccer power house with just 9 men even though Italy did have 10. I do not think it baise(sp?) when i say that the Italy red card was well deserved, and well the straight red for Mastorni was just awful, Pope's first card was crazy and the second foul was all ball.
And i have heard that the Italian mob has caused problems before in world cups with refs, that may be what was up today or he just plane sucks.
