U.S. Robbed of Winning Goal in World Cup Soccer Game vs. Slovenia

Posted on | June 18, 2010 | 52 Comments

Everybody knows soccer is for fags. Still, this doesn’t give anti-American referees the right to screw us over:

The United States staged the greatest rally in its World Cup history Thursday, overcoming a two-goal halftime deficit to record a 2-2 draw with Slovenia at Ellis Park.
Michael Bradley’s goal in the 82nd minute tied the game . . .
The Americans (0-0-2, two points) will face a must-win situation against Algeria on June 23. . . .
It appeared the Americans had pulled ahead in the 84th minute on a Maurice Edu goal off a Landon Donovan free kick, but referee Koman Colibaly apparently called a foul before Edu got the ball. . . .
“I still don’t know why the goal was disallowed,” Bob Bradley said after the match.

Yeah, well, I know why the goal was disallowed: Koman Colibaly hates America, that’s why. This is an international crime against truth and justice:

For the love of all that is holy! Those Slovenian scum were all over Bradley like it was pro wrestling! Some fag at Time magazine named “Sean” describes it:

On a free kick moments later, Landon Donovan delivered a beautiful ball into the box, which Maurice Edu knocked in to give the U.S. what looked like a historic victory. Gooooaaaal!!! But Coulibaly blew his whistle, and called a phantom foul on the Americans. The replay could not have been clearer: no infraction, the goal was legit. If anything, a hold on Bradley should have given the Americans a penalty kick . . .
ESPN commentator, and former Team USA defender, Alex Lalas called Coulibaly’s call “a disgrace.”

You’re damned right, it’s a disgrace. The CIA needs to capture Koman Colibaly, ship him to Guantanamo, and waterboard that terrorist bastard. Meanwhile, here is video of the schweet first goal by Landon Donovan:

Soccer is for fags and foreigners. Only our patriotic jingoism — USA! USA! USA! — gives us Real Red-Blooded Americans an excuse to pretend we actually care about the World Cup.

UPDATE: Dr. Rusty Shackleford is also a Real Red-Blooded American.

    “Koman Colibaly hates America”

    Really man??? Are you an idiot or are you trying to make a really bad joke? Yea it was a bad call but your making it seem like everyone is out to get us.

    No, that’s just you and your white trash friends (BTW you do embarrass the rest of us).

    The politically correct term is now “gay” I believe.

    I will not go so far as to say soccer is gay, just that if you had a spectrum of football at one end and…let’s say…interior design as a sport on the other. Soccer would fall much closer to interior design.

    But why call the kid from Time Magazine names? He was protesting the biased call too. And while Time is a liberal rag, it is not to the pathetic levels of Newsweek and MSNBC.

    But let me turn the subject to mocking Christianists and Palin. Because they are open game.

    This is how you do it. I posted this over at the Dish today.

    But it might not be appropriate if the subject is Gaza. People might get confused.

    I don’t notably follow soccer, so I had to go catch up on what the big deal was.

    But, having done so, all I can ask is this:

    How, pray tell, is this any different from having an Olympic Basketball Gold Medal stolen from us?

    I think we ought to declare War and nuke them or something. Even Obama (Well maybe not him….) should have the gumption to defend our National Sporting Honor from such egregious Officiating!

    Then again, it’s Soccer. Since I’m not emasculated or European, I could really give the proverbial Rat’s Posterior one way or another.

    Wow! Can we be competitive at something totally boring and useless to anyone? I have to go with the Ancient Chinese Philosophy, as expounded by the Ancient (or at least older than I am) Chinese guy I used to work with.

    When really annoyed, he would loudly announce that “Me not give S***!!!!”

    And there also go I, with the World Cup.

    Perhaps you remember the last World Cup, where the friendly refs were always happy to slap the US team with a red card, just for stepping on the pitch?

    Now they just throw the games.

    I’m so tired of hearing people say that soccer is gay. Soccer is one of my favorite womens’ sports! I could watch Mia Hamm all day running up and down the field in those little soccer shorts doing whatever it is that soccer players do, and any time Brandi Chastain feels a need to strip down to her underwear in public to celebrate a victory, who am I to say that is not an integral part of the sport? How can soccer possibly be gay? What’s that you say? Men play soccer too? Who knew?

    jefferson101 @ #12 ~ It’s completely different from the basketball situation. People actually cared about the basketball game, and basketball is a game where scoring isn’t as rare as a sober Kennedy.

    Besides, the basketball travesty happened in time-outs. There are no time-outs in soccer, because there is no strategy. What would a coach say in a time-out in soccer? “Okay, well, fellows, do keep trying to kick the little ball past those other effeminate boys in short pants, and don’t let them score on our goal, mmmkay? And remember: don’t use your hands, you silly gooses! Stay fabulous!”

    We tolerate soccer because it reminds us how very inferior every other country in the world is to us. Or, “was,” at least, before Obama decided it was so unfair and set about lowering us to their spithole levels.

    (1) I will point out the referee us from Mali and thus could be a three-fer: (a) probably a Muslim; (b) almost certainly a French-speaker; and (c) after this performance, obviously an affirmative-action hire, to fill out the “African referee” quota.

    (2) Proof soccer actually fosters healthy jingoism. The other day, the day of Mexico’s greatest victory over France since Cinco de Mayo, I was at a bar where I often watch sports, and I was talking with one of the workers about the World Cup. He is Hispanic and I asked him “what country?” He said “Guatemala.” I said “awww man, I was hoping you were Mexican so I could congratulate you and maybe buy you a celebration for today’s glorious result.” He said “nah, we don’t like the Mexicans.”

    jefferson101 has it exactly right. Immediately after the war, when we had a nuclear monopoly, we should have declared ourselves the victors of all future international competitions and just had the gold medals made and distributed to everyone in the country. Now some of our guys are wasting their time traveling off to those foreign places to perform in front of strange people in the stands blowing their vulvas or whatever those things are called.

    however for everyone else talkin so much s*** on American soccer F OFF. Just because you dont understand a game does not mean anyone who plays it is a faggot.

    NO Strategy? Are you kidding me? You obviously did not watch the game because Bradley (the best coach in US history) pulled the Guch to go from a 4-4-2 to a 3-4-3 which gave us the tying goal. I believe that is strategy, you know formations and such….

    The reason I dont like basketball is because most not all of the players are just trash. You never hear about soccer players beating their wives or robbing and acting like stupid lil nig**rs

    The goal was not disallowed. That is because there was no goal to be disallowed. The referee blew his whistle before Altidore made contact with the ball. When the referee blows the whistle the ball immediately goes dead. So there was no goal. Stop moping.

    About soccer:

    Some stupids are saying that soccer is a third world sport. The place that soccer make the most of it’s profits is in Europe. This sport was created in the UK, and it’s mostly played by men all over the world. Only in America it’s a girls game. I’m really like the evolution of the male’s soccer in USA. It proves that the americans can be very good in any sport. I suggest pay more attention to soccer, because a lot of cash can be earned with it, America just need to learn it.
