Why is the officating in soccer so horrible?
I know that the major American sports have thier problems, but I just watched USA vs. T&T, and I think the refferee was actually trying to slant the game in T&T's favor.

It's because in soccer the game doesn't stop every 30 seconds for 5 minutes to disect it from every angle. Otherwise it would be boring.

that offsides call on twellman was just criminal. I don't think that it was slanted one way though, cause the red card that the T&T player got on the harsh side

Don't know. I'm usually too asleep to notice.
Ants chasing an aspirin = watching soccer. I used to love playing it though. b |

[/ QUOTE ] Slant it in T&T's favor? He gave one of their defenders a red card for barely impeding Landon Donovan. He didn't even fall down, for Christ's sake. That was a horrible call...yellow card infraction all the way. I was pretty impressed with T&T's keeper in the 2nd half- he made some nice saves. |

It seamed to me that anytime a foul might have been called against T&T, they played on, but the ref would call fouls against the USA if they breathed the wrong way. The call that I thought was really teribble was in the second half, T&T had a goal kick. The ball cleared the box, and a USA player caught the T&T defense asleep and intercepted the kick. He had a good chance as there was only the golie between him and the goal, but the ref blew the wistle and the did the goal kick over. I never heard any explaination for this. As for the red card, I agree it was harsh, but if there was ever a situation that deserved a penalty kick, that was it. But I guess my problem here is with the rules, not with the officating. |

CONCACAF isn't that much of a jopke to be honest. There are some good teams, and some of the away grounds are very hostile enviroments |
