The referee in the Italy-US match is doing a nice job of ensuring that soccer never gains any ground across the Atlantic with some bizarre decisions. Three sendings off? A disallowed goal? Cards being handed out wily-nily? I've never seen anything like it! The US has so far done a sterling job of restricting Italy to 1-1 by playing the offside trap like real pros -- okay, Arsenal. Ooooh! Great save by Kasey Keller! Come on you Yanks!
ETA: Well, they did it. 1-1 at full time, despite playing most of the second half with just 9 men. Although I would have been helped in the office pool by an Italian win, I can't help feeling happy for the US. And this means the final matches in this group should be absolutely cracking!
