You can download the vuvzela as a ringtone.

I think I'd rather have a Spongebob Squarepants ringtone than an annoying vuvzela.

Did anyone see today's US vs Slovenia?

They tied...but the dirtbag referee took away the game goal from the US.
Luckily England and Algeria tied today, so that leaves the US in the running.  They played a lazy first half...but fought for their lives second half.  Not only tied the Slovs with 2 goals...but kicked another one in for a possible win.  Ref sucked.

GO US!!!

Crooked refs in soccer?  Who knew?

When's the next game so I can officially not give a shit about soccer or hear about it for another four years?

The games might have a hard time being played if the electricity is turned off. The union utility workers may go on strike this Monday.

Meh--that just means the maintenance won't get done.  Ops might be covered under a different contract.  Our contract includes Ops, but a LOT of those guys are exempt.

Said ref has been banned from refereeing any more games at the WC.  It was ****ing blatant, the foul--the American forward was being held by the Slovenian defender, and the American was called for holding.  The replay showed the Slovenian's arm around the American.  FIFA may be a typical international organization in their anti-Americanism (I don't know for sure), but this was blatant.  FIFA had to take action.

I hope that that ref (from Mali) never works an international soccer game again.

It's the lovely Americans fault for placing himself in the arms of the Slovenian Muslim queer.....he must now be stoned to death.

That ref from Mali is from a region that is nearly 100% Muslim. Remember, it wasn't just the call that negated the goal, but also the yellow card he gave the American for a handball on what clearly showed to be a clean header. In addition, he missed several obvious calls against the US.

After all is said and done, this will undoubtedly be the most blatantly mishandled umpiring job of the entire tournament.

But as Leylas said, the US should actually be the bigger culprit because the goals they gave up had nothing to do with bad officiating in the first half. If they play like that from now on they will lose.

I'm glad they took action...makes me feel a little bit better...I just hope this dirtbag's decision doesn't stand in the way of the US advancing...

So far, the US is playing a lot like Italy (the defending champs for those who don't know).  They play best when they're behind.  Italy and Brazil play tomorrow(not each other)...a nice Father's Day indeed.  Family will be at my house for pizza and the games. :-)

Best thing about Spain winning the cup? It means we don't have to hear anything about this bore fest for the next 4 years or so.
