Current US World Cup Game

Also, nothing brings fans together faster than VERY questionable refereeing decisions.

Like a holding call that wasn't a holding call during a pivotal game with your rival?

FIFA said no to the appeal already too.

Is that the end? Looks like there might be a way to have him play again.

I'm missing something here. I've got no idea what you're talking about.

Supposedly - though I'm sure if this happened to a team with a Messi or Ronaldo it would magically go away.

This is the Football board. The difference is they, the world, spell it Futbol or some other variation. Here's more information that anyone really needs, or wants:

I don't understand how #20 got a red card. They were both playing the ball, not like he had eyes in his feet and targeted that guys ankle. Piss poor judgment on the refs part. Or, maybe he just hates Americans. I'll go with the political angle.
And the holding, Christ! How obvious is grabbing the jersey and holding on. You'd think the guy was wearing a cape!

Eeeehhhhhh I dunno, that Shafer hold wasn't exactly nothing. Those same plays go uncalled all the time, though.

First Brawl last year. Shafer called for a holding on a Gilman TD run. Call was BS per previous BSC officiating standards.

This is a Griz Football and the FCS forum.

There are correct forums for this that aren’t Griz Football and the FCS. Those are The Locker Room and Political BS.

This subject doesn’t fit Locker or Political. You are a nitpicker.

Its summer, the off season. Low volume on eGriz, no matter what forum. OK?
Its not even that hot, yet. August temperatures would bring the crankiness out of many a poster.
I guess if it wasn't for soccer, some would have to find another thing to bitch about.
Maybe Chris could put up a Soccer Forum, temporarily that is. When the World Cup goes away, so does the forum.

Its the officiating that is the problem. That call was chickenshit, just like FIFA. Any parent would know the officiating problem starts at an early age, T-ball, for instance. Right up through the Pro's.

Maybe posts about disliking the UM AD from posters with “soccer” in their name could also be relegated to the soccer forum so those posts and threads like this one don’t muck up the Griz football and FCS board.
