Did you even read what I said? The "cannot see what i am seeing" comment was in reference to your claim that the Slovenian were deliberately trying to kick the United Statians. As to the disallowed goal, it looks to me like the whistle had already been blown before the foul on Bradley you are going on about. It is the job of the referee to call a foul when he or she sees it. There were at least ten fouls being committed during the play, by both teams. It could easily have gone the other way, but the one he saw first happened to be committed by a United Statian player. This was bad luck for them, but no excuse for the coach's son, no less, to embarrass himself and his team by screaming at the referee in front of a world wide audience after the game. The athletes I admire maintain their composure under adverse conditions. It's part of the game. The Canadian team has been robbed of qualification for various events three times in the past ten years by inexplicable phantom penalty calls. 'Nuff said! It's over. Move on. LC
