Boys and girls,
As we complete soccer week at SMILE, we look back at this morning's World Cup match between the United States and Slovenia.
The US, as normal, got off to another slow start and fell behind 2-0 at halftime. In the history of the World Cup, only 5 times has a team come back from 2-0 at the half to tie the game, and never has a team won.
Today, the US tied the game at 2-2 and should've won the game.
Why not? The referee completely blew the game. And if you know me, I rarely ever blame the referees because I always feel there are things in a game that you can do better so the game doesn't rest in the hands of an official. Today was not the case.
A friend of mine told me that some are speculating the referee was paid off and I am inclined to believe that. Take a look at this entire highlight video. It is 7 minutes, but definitely something that you need to see.
You'll see the great goals by both teams, an amazing comeback by the United States, and probably one of the most confusing things you'll ever see. Still, nobody knows why the ref blew his whistle.
What does this mean in the long run? Team USA needs to win their next game, plain and simple.
