I agree with you, that holding the ball to long thing was BS. BUT Alex Morgan got TAKEN out clearly just a few moments later in the box with no call. We can play the blame the refs game all night long. Yea.. Canada got a few calls there way as well.. the key word there being a few.. America had blantantly obvious calls going their way all night! 5 corners that they touched last and they still got to take! that should have been 5 goal kicks! Our players were getting dragged down slid tackled and they were trying to take out Sinclaire all game! No calls! We can bitch about the refs because they lost Canada that game! We likely would have won had they actually called a fair game!

Christiana Pedersen, the ref for the controversial USA vs Canada semis, is not reffing either the Bronze medal or Gold medal matches.... coincidence?? I think not

They do that in a lot of close games where SOME people think a bad call may have been made. They sit them out the next game.

That girl ENJOYS this kind of stuff. ughh she is a moron... I was praying that they would pull her right after that penalty kick.. She was on a rampage and was so gonna take a stupid penalty that would end up with us a man (or in this case a woman) down and then we would have had no chance to beat the USA.. Tancredi is one of those players that makes her team look bad!

Want some cheese to go with that WHINE?
