Well as you know, that ended in a 1 to 1 draw.
I apologize to anyone of Italian descent, or any other form of connection in advance.
I think the Italians played like dirt. They kept on trying to score a play with offsides hoping that just once out of those 10 or so times, the ref wouldn't see.
Not only that, but the ref was most evidently an Italian lover. There was complete unfairness towards the American team.
While I think the Americans lacked experience and made many mistakes, they played fairly, with honor, and without giving up.
That goalie, Keller, is world class.
Sure you guys aren't gonna go on in the World Cup, but I am very happy that the world saw that one of the "favorite" teams could easily be upset by a weaker team, even despite all the unfairness of the refs.
The Italians deserved to only draw - hell the Italians deserved to outright lose. Calling off that would-be goal was complete bull$hit. Mcbryde was merely a distraction to the goalie, and did not touch the ball. The ref just decided it was best for the Americans not to win.
Well screw the ref, and screw the arrogant Italian soccer team.
