Seriously an awful, awful call. I don't care what Jim says, I want replay. Why did the US have no chance to advance or be eliminated? Is it because of score differentials? Thrill, anyone?

at least

There was also the goal wiped away on the phantom handball resulting in a yellow. Not to mention that Slovenia probably should have had at least 2 reds.

The guys ESPN had no clue, probably because they're sitting in a studio in Bristol. So can somebody tell me WTF was the call? They didn't look offsides.

offsides
Do you know whether the ref called it or the linesman, er, assistant called it?

Should have won 3-2. Goal was fine. Nobody offside. Bradley getting full-on bear hugged to boot. That was truly horrible call.

"I still don't know why the goal was disallowed," Bob Bradley said after the match.
ETA from Wikipedia:
Speaking on the game, Chris Moyles said: "I've just seen that disallowed goal for the US again - and not only was there no foul by a US player, there are probably two penalty-kick offences being committed by the Slovenian defenders. Shocking decision." Coulibaly's exploits have drawn comparisons to such sporting pariahs as Jim Joyce, Don Denkinger, Tim Donaghy, and even BP CEO Tony Heyward.

The Ref called it.
Not only was there NO offsides, there was a blatant, horrible foul! Dude dragged down Bradley!
Good refering- Goal
Bad Referring- PK USA
Horrendously fireable offense- Offsides
