That was a close call, maybe correct, but after that BS earlier that just sucks. Ugh.

obviously no such thing as a make-up "non-call" . Very iffy foul on the goalie, imo

FIFA officially put USSF on standby to begin prep to host the 2022 WC per Jorge Ramos.
Edit - Gulati said no approach from FIFA yet.

Very little. That's why we didn't win a bid. FIFA's go-to move is to put the tourney in a developing nation that will require billions in construction projects and then take bribes from developers and commercial general contractors who will be given the building contracts through the corruption of the local govt.

Praise Cristo Redentor there are no vuvuzelas.

That header goal by the Netherlands was incredible, and it came right after Spain should've scored on a chip in.
