Well, the refs threw that game away.

Seems like that's been happening a lot lately throughout the US soccer world.

Well, to the letter of the rule it was the correct call. Hard to argue.

I was listening to a local sports show and seems like the SLC team has been the victim recently of some bad calls. They were suggesting that maybe the refs are paid enough to draw good officials. I don't know. I was in to soccer and ice hockey a long time ago. No longer, though. Just passing interest. And, people on the radio aren't always the best source. ESPN guy on the radio last night was giving updates of other games during the SLC baseball game. He was very excited about Jeter hitting his 3000th home run.

I do depending on what tournament it is and who's on the leader board. Watched it a lot more when I first started playing.

Radio experts are rarely experts on everything they talk about. I don't know much about soccer, so I can't say whether refereeing is getting worse. I think the bad moments just stand out. When a game is reffed well and fairly, it is expected and not really appreciated.

I watched the last Masters and was shocked at how much I enjoyed it, one day I will try and play

The claims that FIFA is patently anti-American aren't totally unfounded, IMO.

I've kind of become of fan of Rory and Phil's. Rory was supposed to play golf for my school. Last tournament I really followed was when Louis Ousthaizen, I know spelling is off, won it overseas.

I could easily see that. We're intruders.
