Just weeks ago, many of us were pissing and moaning about the officiating in the NBA Finals. Our good friends in Boston still are. But the calls in the World Cup have put that sorry display to shame, with England and Mexico becoming the most recent clubs to get the shaft.

Again, Speed Kills

Ghana’s quickness was evident early on in its 2-1 World Cup victory over the U.S. The biggest case for the speed of the Black Stars was driven home in stunning fashion when Asamoah Gyan beat the Americans back for the game-winning goal only 3 minutes into the extra period.
As much as U.S. soccer fans were hoping this World Cup wouldn’t end like the last, another loss to Ghana, those hopes died with a club that didn’t play well for much of the tournament. The U.S. got a gift in a 1-1 tie with England in the opener, then were rescued by Landon Donovan in an overtime win over Algeria earlier this week.
As writer Jere Longman astutely points out, the U.S. trailed in 387 of the 390 minutes it played in the World Cup. That’s a recipe for disaster.
