I won't be crying about this 8 years from now either.

But just so I know my English etiquette, this is where we're supposed to say "WE WUZ ROBBED!!!!!", right? :D
You won't be crying about it, because it's one call and these things happen. Belgium had a perfectly good goal taken from them against Brazil in 2002 too, but I don't complain about that anymore either.

But it was very different for Spain and Italy. That shit was predetermined.

You don't get it. This was ONE call and you were complaining. Italy had FIVE good goals taken from them and you blame them for complaining. It is quite obvious that someone decided that Korea should go through and that Italy and Spain would just have to go home. If Italy and Spain are called sore losers, I'm going to call the Americans sore losers for not accepting this call too.

Despicable behaviour from Altidore I say.
Again, conspiracy theories. This is why not too many are fond of Azzurri fans.

Its always disappointing to see the ref's decisions cost your team points but I think we can be optimistic about the draw. As I said last night I didn't expect us to take more than four points from our final two games.

I am confident that the English will beat both Algeria and Slovenia what remains to be seen is whether the US can beat Algeria. We should be able to win so hope Bob Bradley doesn't fuck it all up

OK, but the difference is I won't be crying about these calls in 2018, unlike alllllllll of the Azzurri fans. I even admit we probably didn't deserve to win after going down 2-0 like that. It was a fucking poor by us.

I put a lot of salt on whatever you lot have to say about those matches, sir. All those conspiracy theories.
Andy, you've got the be joking! The US deserved to win! WIN! You have every right to go crazy and be outraged due to that disallowed goal. You guys stepped it up in the 2nd half, made Slovenia go crazy and lose their composure and forced them into conceding 3 goals. It was in no way poor by you guys.

But you HAVE to drop the act. We all know you're doing this to avoid being compared to the Azzurri fanboys. Eventually, you have to accept the FACT that both Italy in 2002 and the US in this game were robbed. It's pure and simple. It doesn't matter how many bad calls each team had. Both did enough to win it, but the ref stuck his dick up their asses.

I know you hate Italy and their fanboys. But admitting that your team was not good(when they clearly were) to avoid a backlash from Azzurri fanboys is just pathetic! Simply pathetic!

That's what Andy always says. The Azzurri deserved the go home in 2002. The ref didn't influence the game.

This was ONE wrong call. So it can't have influenced the game.
Man, forget about him. He is clueless when it comes to football. He won't understand even if he gets a taste of his own medicine hundreds of more times. USA had a perfectly valid goal disallowed and it might cost them the whole thing in the end. I can't believe how on earth such poor referees make for the World Cup.

I'm proud of you Sheik :touched::wub:

Of course he can't complain so much because of all the trash talks he had about the Azzurri complaining about bad refereeing in 2002 but God, he is indeed pathetic.
