The Canuk's should QQ. The Ref was obviously making calls so USA could come back and win.

Great game but the ref had a lot to do with it, which sucks.

That 6 second call with no warning was BS. I think I've seen it called maybe twice in my life and both with a warning.

Good to see Walsh/Treanor get through. I was a bit nervous for them.

I watched the Chinese wax those Austrian sisters the other day. Total beating.

my bad, thought it was only 2 sets, not 3. They are currently 2 - 0 up on DOM, ahead in the 3rd set.

We complain about judgment calls that have fucked us, so your complaining that Canada is upset? Ok.

Not to mention, it was the most bullshit call I've ever seen. In professional soccer it's been called once on record. I think I heard 1992 in an EPL match. Canada might have relinquished the lead...but the got fucked harder than ive ever seen a team in that sequence.
