I saw that second half, it was pathetic. Not only some of the fouls and cards, but also those dives. I drew penalties in hockey by embelishing a little bit, but I went down and got back up. I NEVER rolled around and acted hurt like they do. That is why I feel that soccer has yet to gain the status here that it has elsewhere in the world. As a nation, we have embraced sports that glorify the blue collar athlete. When a professional athlete takes a slight kick in the shin, which is right on his shinpads, then proceeds to roll aound and screaming in agony until the stretcher is brought out then makes a miracoulous and full recovery, it seems absured to alot of peole. Sorry to go off on that Emmitt, but you are right, those refs really did suck.
