to play so crappy and go down 2-0 in a game we were supposed to own.
*Then it was so awesome to see us wake up in the 2nd half! i couldn't believe Donovan took that shot... and then i couldn't believe he actually put it in the top shelf. we owned that 2nd half.
the whole buildup to Bradley's goal was brilliant! = Donavan's cross, Altidore's header down, Hercules' run to bring the defender forward, and then Michael Bradley's finish. awesome.
then came the game winner! so i thought for a few seconds as i celebrated... a 3-2 win after being down 2-0 is pretty much as good as it gets. but inexplicably, the goal didn't count. we still don't know what the ref called.
(i do know i see 3 of our guys getting fouled in the box! especially Bradley getting bear hugged and Bocanegra basically getting body slammed.)
if you haven't seen what i'm talking about yet (where have you been?) check it out below.
wow. that was a brilliant game winner and it was taken away from us. Now, i'm not going to blame the whole game on the ref. we played like crap in the 1st half. it's our fault we lost... he's also a human and i don't hate him or anything. he just made a mistake. he's probably a great guy. but c'mon ref... you took away a win & 3 points & probably winning the group.
*i'm also encouraged to hear our U.S. players not dwelling on it and looking forward to beating Algeria.
