International referee not able to speak english?
Yeah, right

It was a stupid thing to say, and of course I'm not shocked at such borderline Xenophobia being uttered on the international stage.

A few reports just out ripping him, good, I'm glad.

Still trolling? Xenophobia? You know he's a German living in the US? You know he's not a native English speaker? If you know all of these things, then you know you're trolling or you're using words you don't understand.
And his comments are part of his gamesmanship. He's putting a bug in the ref's ear. He's posturing. I'm sure the ref speaks English, and I'm sure Jurgen knows it. He's fucking with the ref and making sure that the ref knows we'll all be watching for any favoritism. He's just trying to get in the ref's head a little bit. But keep on trying. You're certainly more entertaining than the Canadian national soccer team.

talking about 'favoritism', there's nothing you can do about it
the game end's and whatever's the score you can't change it
and yes, talking about that Germany-Portugal stuff and the USA-Portugal(elbow, penalty)
they'll keep doing it, you guys heard what Maradona said right, about Suarez punishment and what 'boys' have to say?
believe they need to be more impartial, or those RESPECT signs are only for fans?

still upset i see, sensitive soul. I like it.

You know, Just because you have an issue with some of my posts, you cant just go around crying 'trolling'. Whats wrong with your head? Lay off the Fluoride.

He's fucking with the fef? That you defend, but when I jokingly make a small rip towards US sports/the US football team, clearly joking, I mean my smiley face not enough for you mr sensitive? and Me saying how I enjoy good games, games well played, and if the US plays well then good, they should win etc was still not enough?

How unfortunate.

OK, I don't want to upset you. I'm not the least bit upset. I may be after today's game, but I'm all smiles right now. You absolutely were trolling, and I was just feeding the troll. Its a little game that is played on the Internet.
Anyway, I love Canada (I'm from Seattle, so the Canucks are my "home" team), watch Hockey Night in Canada on CBUT, etc... and am just giving you shit back. No anger coming from me! But if you're flipping shit, you should expect it back. Especially if you're flipping the USMNT shit and come from a country with no representation in the World Cup! >-

Nooooooo! I'm not upset! I dont get upset.

of course I came In here trying to rile up some US soccer fans, I figured I did it In a light hearted way, I'm sure some of you guys were a bit annoyed. But, it was all in good fun, In a sports thread. If u read any of my other posts, they are the complete opposite of how I entered this one.

and for the record, I expected better comebacks from u guys. So a bit disappointed in that way. My nailing that cliffy video and the black hawks la kings comment, I'm still laughing at that . Come on, funny no?

oh, this is gonna be a fun match.

in the start of Columbia-Uruguai, the Uruguai captain gave a hole lot of pennants to the other captain, it was too funny )

I know my friend, how can they be bad, they made round of 16! Did it by playing hard and making it work.

As mentioned before, I have no issues with any team, as long as they play good football on the pitch, don't take fake dives and just generally perform awesomeness.

I mean if I really wanted to rip the USA, I'd just start talking US domestic and foreign policy.

OctopuS27

so Altidore is on the bench?
it's the best option, to keep the same team
he will then enter, and score
