“If anybody gets hosed it is the US...in nearly ever sport...due to the envy and hate.”

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No stop, please, you’re killing me.
No really. Stop, stop.

I suppose that’s why the men’s track team is stinking up the Olympics, and why there’s no American boxers left in the tournament, or why the American men’s soccer team didn’t even qualify, eh?

That’s right. The Dominican Republic has so much more money to pay off the refs, huh?

When you can prove that you’re able to put together a nuanced argument that has something to do with the actual game, write me back.

‘Til then, as the Brits said to Romney, “Bugger off.”

Oh, and btw, it’s too bad that Abby Wambach is so insecure that she felt that she had to work over the referee in order for the Americans to have a chance in this game.

“Yes it’s uncharacteristic (read: nobody ever calls it, ever, anywhere),” Wambach said. “But the rules are the rules. You can say it’s gamesmanship, you can say it’s smart, but I’m a competitor. We needed to get a goal.”

So sorry that America’s team is so insecure and paranoid all at the same time. I would have given her a yellow card for “Unsporting behaviour”. But she would have been even more paranoid than ever after that.

Win it on the pitch if you can, Abby, not by contorting the mind of the referee. But, maybe that would have been too hard.

Track just started, we’ll see how many US medals there are in the end lol....

Boxing is a cyclical sport, no biggie there.

Your incessant crying is just...well, cousinly appropriate lol.

You didn’t address the point. It is ridiculous to whine, as all of Canada is doing, about some bad calls, when an appropriate call would have had a red on Tancredi and had Canada down a goon, the remainder of the match.
