This was the WORST possible World Cup day! First of all, Alberto Undiano (aka the worst referee on earth), handed out about 50 cards. Is he sponsored by Hallmark? I mean, seriously. This guy is crazy. He gave Klose two yellows (resulting in a red) for NO good reason. Fouls? Yes. Yellow cards? No. So here's to you, crazy referee man. You made Germany lose 1-0. I'm so angry!!!!
Oh but you probably don't recognize him without these:
Then there was the second game. The referee was equally as bad. Granted, nobody got sent off because of excessive yellow cards. But boy were there calls missed, bad calls made, and goals that should have counted. Seriously. It was a frustrating game. And I'm not a huge fan of either teams. But team USA sure got robbed. Although they did well coming back to finish with a 2-2 draw.
And game 3? The referee was okay. But England needs to STEP UP!!!! They can't get very far playing this way. A 0-0 draw was not what I wanted or expected. One good thing about the game? Getting to see David Beckham on the sideline. And for those of you who missed him, here he is again!

I don't know a darn thing about soccer, but I am really enjoying your sports commentary. And thank you so much for leaving me with the David Beckham :)
The Hallmark sponsor line was hilarious!!!
Well, if Podolsky had made his 11-meter shot or any of the several shots that almost went in, we could have lived without Miro Klose. I had to leave the room when he got sent off the field because I was so frustrated.
And that goal that didn't get counted for the US was not offsides. Bummer.
The best part of the England game was the color-scheme for the Algerian uniforms. It just made me happy.
I can't keep up with your posts!!! But thank you for your updates and thoughts...you seriously are keeping me up to date with things! and yes, USA did get robbed a long with many other teams lately.
