Huh ? I thought the US was robbed of a goal... at least a penalty shot. Even though I agree that the ref's decision is final and it's based on what he sees, how can you say he was "exactly right" ? The close up replay clearly shows a goal and a hand ball. I do agree that the ref did a fine job... six yellows in four minutes sends a clear signal that there will be no fooling around on my pitch. And you cannot cite the ref for the mistake, but "exactly right"... uh uh.
