      He gave a reason - it was ruled out for an alleged pull (US player pulling an Slovenian back by the shirt). Refs do make some suspect calls I'm afraid and as FIFA won't introduce replay technology there is no end of suspect decisions in sight.

      All the same a good result for England; I know we're over rated, but I've got to support my own country.

        England is (or should be) so good, it's scary. Obviously, I'm pulling for a tie.

        As far as the Yanks, I understand blown calls--and there were plenty--but to take a goal away on something as marginal as that? Pulling in a scrum in the 18? Like that never happens. The horse shit call of the tournament so far.

          Great call! Obviously a hold on a U.S. player!

          What ref wouldn't disallow a goal in this situation!

              FOUR HOURS after the game ended and it's still not clear which U.S. player that foul was called against!

                  I’ve been working to watch the World Cup and get into the games. And I hate to be a typical American, but the ties are completely unsatisfying. And, it really seems like the US got screwed at the end of the game with Slovenia. They dug themselves a huge hole in the first half and are responsible for that, but that last goal should have counted and it should have been an incredible come-from-behind win.

                  Bad refereeing. Ties. I’m not sure I can get fully behind this.

                    Totally understandable.

                      The ref was unable to tell anyone on the pitch whom he called the foul on.

                      Because it was a bullshit call!

                              Usually there is a big rivalry between Scotland and England about football but at the moment after watching that tonight for me to say anything feels a bit like mocking disabled people.

                                The madness in football needs to stop.

                                England are paying their coach over $9 million a year.

                                That's more than a million a game.

                                For what exactly?
