USA down and out

The USA coach Bruce Arena blamed the referee's decision to award Ghana a dubious penalty on the stroke of half-time for their 2-1 defeat an ultimate alimination from the 2006 World cup.
Even though they played better footy than Ghana however I did think that Ghana was more entertaining. They lost the ball sometimes stupidly and made some careless blunders, overall I still thought they were more entetaininmg than the US. The penalty did however change the whole outcome of the game and it should not have been awarded in my book.

Why is there so many blunders right now with officials? Their are 4 per game which is a lot by footy standards and I see they even have little mic's now what for I dont know they dont seem to help any. Graham Poll the English ref (im ashamed) during the Ausie vs Croatia game produced 3 yellow cards for one croatian player before sending him off, the Ausies should have had atleast another two penalties awarded to them. What are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th officals doing? Poll Said he incorrectly noted down the name of the Australia No. 3 Craig Moore when booking Simunic for the second time and failed to realise his error.

They should have told MR Poll of his error (through his little head set).I hope that these errors dont continue. For the sake of the US who went out and the Ausies who scrapped through thier shopuld be something done about these heart breaking decisions.
