England got robbed. Clearly. They obviously (even before 40 different camera angles showed it) scored a second goal there in the first half. The ESPN commentator with the adorable accent mentioned that expense was one of the reasons they do not have instant replay in the FIFA World Cup.
Its annoying to me that every news/sports broadcast I see is touting how enamored the US is with this World Cup and 'soccer is finally taking hold' in the US. I am just not seeing it. Seems like someone is trying to move The Overton Window.
So, faxing these talking points to every news outlet in the states must have come out of the FIFA 'technology' budget. Of course, there wasn't anything left for instant replay.
Only a couple months until the real football season starts.
