The USA was robbed of a winning goal. But FIFA will do nothing about it, like usual. Peace and goodwill.

The offside call on the goal/non-goal was close. I wouldn't second guess that part of it.
But, and maybe this is my lack of understanding about the rules of soccer, there was a lot of holding going on that wasn't called. I thought players aren't allowed to wrap their arms around other players. On the controversial player, there were 2 Slovenian players holding USA players before the kick.

FIFA won't do anything because they are ruled by U.S.A. haters of the same mindset as the referee that made the flagrant call. The world would have a conniption if the U.S.A. were to ever win this contest.

That says a lot about much USA soccer has improved when they have to cheat to keep USA from winning.

It reminds me of that great Get Smart line--something to the effect of `we have to help these countries with our money and militarity and charity...otherwise they`d have no reason to hate and resent us!` Thank God the USA overcame the bad call and bias and the BS--A VERY LAST MINUTE GOAL-AND THE USA ADVANCED TO THE SWEET 16! GOOD ON YA USA.

Yikes! It seems the World Cup refs dislike England as much as they dislike USA.
