USA vs. the World

Draw 1-1

We outplayed them entirely. We deserved the result, even if we only got a draw because of an own goal.

This was the worst refereed match of the World Cup. Terrible. Whoa...they said they are going to have "a very interesting story" about the referee after the commercial break.

Good for the US. I think we can all be pleased at the performance, although worried about our finishing. We're still extremely unlikely to advance, because even if we beat Ghana, we'll be behind on goal differential. We need to beat Ghana and have Italy beat the Czech Republic in order to advance.

UPDATE: In 2002, that ref was suspended for the World Cup because of "irregularities." Yikes. That ref shouldn't have been on the field, and it's a huge embarassment for FIFA.
