The Ref was awful. He over compensated and made terrible calls with the red card.

It's pretty tough to score with 9 men.

I thought I heard ABC say the Ref was from Uruguay, had been suspended for irregularities two World Cups ago and sat out the last Cup.

I thought the red card against the US was BS so did everyone I watched the game with. I'm no ref but I thought red was extreme (i'm in favor of "letting the players play the game" so I wouldn't have called any penalty). I guess a yellow card would have been justified, maybe yellow and 1/2...
