AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

JUST RIP OUT MY HEART AND TRAMPLE IT ALREADY.
YOU'VE ALREADY BROKEN MY SOUL.
YOU GHANA BASTARDS.
TWICE.
TWICE.

I know our defence was pitiful. We dropped it immediately at overtime altogether. Right when we'd ridden them to fatigue, we gave them a break at the whistle.

We were so close. We worked so hard.

Thanks for the work, boys. I'm so sorry.

I am outraged 

*sits weeping in a corner*

Good, as you should be.

Okay... So I'm not completely outraged... But I am rather sad as I had my hopes up for our team

They played their hearts out and were dealt some rather harsh and obviously unfair calls but they persevered and went pretty far

I'm rather proud of team USA for getting as far as they did with so many obstacles to overcome

yeah i'm so sad for them even though i'm not american or follow sports so much , but i had high expectations and admiration for that team , theyr the only team in the WC i saw all the games they played . because i liked how they got their country's rank incredibly up through time. even without enough fans support
meh , anyway WC is full of drama , that's why i like it and hate it at the same time

well i am really aggravated-

we did NOT show up for this match.


another 4 years to go before we get aother chance!

Me, too, as S. Korea lost to Uruguay by 1:2. But they played well, just were unlucky. I will forget it as soon as possible.

As a fan of soccer, the USA team was indeed impressive, which most of my friends here agree on. Their play style is different from Europeans or S. Americans. Team work and spirit is an essence of the USA team. Of course, those referee problems will not be solved forever. The referee did not call the obvious penalty kick during the Korea-Uruguay game. But we accept it as it is soccer.

Lol.

And, now, England can join our butthurt support group as well, seeing as FIFA decided to strip them of their tying goal. Thanks, FIFA. Can't wait to see you again in 2014. God have mercy on your souls if you haven't changed up your refs. by then.

England lost pretty badly today, 4-1 to Germany 

THAT GOAL SHOULD HAVE COUNTED SPIGJSIOGJSOIJGSDIJGSOIDJGSDJGOIS

I KNOW;LAKSDF;';LFDS'L;DSFLK;F'LKFSADKJL I KNOW!!!

I cannot believe with my own eyes that that goal did not count.


::)need new refs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It almost made me ashamed to be british lol. And where was Crouch! Why didnt we put him on!!

The officials seem to be - across the board - totally incompetent.  If that kind of ref ever did an NFL Eagles/Giants game they'd never get out of the stadium (either one) alive.  They need an instant replay rule.

Absolutely agree.
People keep thinking it'll disrupt the flow of the game, but these games aren't even that long. At least do it for World Cup.

Lost? That was a grade A asskicking. And no, the disallowed goal wouldn't have made a difference. We were outplayed. let's face it, even Algeria showed more enthusiasm on the pitch than we did.

Pff.

I haven't been able to summon up any enthusiasm for this bunch of overpaid, overrated, arrogant adulterers for a couple of years now. Sack the manager, get rid of the team and start again.

i used to love watching England but now they just make me want to hurl things at the T.V!!

The ref made a mistake! Big deal, at least he was trying!

Personally I think it would have made a difference. Scoring a second goal in less than two minutes is not getting your ass kicked.

People really underestimate the mentality of these things. Why did Germany allow that second goal in? They're a really great team, but they're too young and inexperienced and these things happen to young teams. If England's second goal would have counted then the third goal Germany scored wouldn't have given them so much leverage. It still would have been competitive enough for England to at least have a chance. But 3-1 against a team that's been the favourite? If it were 3-2 it wouldn't have been nearly as hopeless. Sports is a lot more than stats, upsets can happen, but there are so many other factors involved, especially mental ones.

Would Germany have won anyway? Probably, but England still had a fighting chance and that second goal could have kept the competitive nature and morale up.

I agree. I think if they had accepted that goal it could of made a massive difference to the teams performance. It would of boosted the morale. Sure we probably would of lost anyway but we wouldnt of been so terrible in the last half. It just seemed like they were thinking "meh we've lost." and so they played horribly. I was waiting for Rooney to explode but it just never happened.
