As for the US-Italy match, is it just me, or is the referee whistle happy? Every time a player falls down (usually Italy), it's a foul. Yeah, I understand that Italy's speed on the attack forced the US to foul a lot at first, but there were just too many fouls called. The red cards: I think the Mastroeni send off was a bit extreme, but I suppose it is consistent with this referee's style. Obviously I'm not too happy about losing the man advantage. Now that the sides are even again, I wonder if the US can pull this off. We might be able to play Italy to a draw, but we haven't shown that we can actually score a goal. My first impression was that our passing sucks, so I was quite surprised to see a graphic that showed the US passing success rate as higher than Italy's (this was before the red cards). I can only assume that while we may have a higher passing success rate, our passing efficiency sucks. A lot of our attacking passes seemed to be behind the recipients, forcing them to pull back. I'm not really sure how to read this now. Up until Mastroeni's send off, I was pretty confident that we could pull something out of the hat. Now that the sides are even again, I don't know. Like I said, I'm not convinced that we can actually score a goal. I would love to be proven wrong, though, especially since another goal and a win against Ghana would mean we go through (I'm just going by what WS said above--it's five o'clock in the morning now and way too early for maths). So what happens if this ends in a 1-1 draw?
