That ref needs to get off his knees, because he's blowing the game. Terrible calling so far.

I'm shocked. Must I point out that we don't have 'flags', as you suggest. We have only one flag. It's Old Glory, the Stars and Stripes, and it stands for something, gentlemen, something very important.
It stands for the right of the President to make fun of blind reporters with impunity.
It stands for the right of our Vice-President to declassify any document at any time on a whim.
It stands for the right of everyday citizens, like yourself, to speak their minds freely while the NSA, the CIA and the FBI eagerly listen.
Please remember these things before you next trash our blessed flag.

RSquared, agreed. Pointless call led to a devestating goal. Officiating all around in this tournament has been dismal.

I know this is a bit off subject as well, but doesn't the Czech Republic's Pavel Nedved look like Patrick Swayze from Point Break?

If the game was really important, they'd be playing it in Prime Time, but not opposite Desperate Housewives or AI.
'nuff said.

I nominate "i love when other countries burn our flags" for a Gawker t-shirt. And I want it with the lower-case and improper pluralization. They might sometimes burn the Texas flag in Mexico. Maybe.
I hereby promise to buy it. Pre-order sales stand at 1.
