Ref costs U.S win a major comeback for a draw

The US made a huge comeback after being 2 goals down. Landon Donovan and Michael Bradley, son of coach Bob scored after the 2nd half to bring U.S level with Slovenia. As full time approached, the winner came off the toe of Maurice coming from a free kick but astonishingly disallowed Malian ref Koman Coulibaly.

3 minutes were added....and at the stroke of the 3rd, there was a substitution for an injured Slovenian player. Of course, any sort of time delaying must be added to the stoppage time. What did the ref do? Blew the final whistle. FIFA really need to cross reference all the referee's. SERIOUSLY!!!


Michael Bradley screaming at the ref with Benny Feilhaber holding him back. Also joining the tirade, Jozy Altidore. Why is the Slovak player smiling? weird...
