I don't know the official ruling, my understanding has always been that if the game gets called off in the second half, the result is final. If called off in the first half, the game is replayed.I do not know if these are FIFA/CONCACAF official. Would love to know the real answer...
Well, forget that
It is a nightmare. Our true advantage is cold, not snowy. I think 6 or 7 CR players play in Scandinavia.I know we like to act that this is some sort of inherent advantage, but it's not like US players are regularly playing in these kind of conditions. Most of the US players are European-based anyway....I'd imagine they're much more attuned to playing in chilly weather, but this weather is a nightmare for everyone, IMO.Costa Rican officials are busy breeding mosquitos for the rematch I bet. With all the ridiculous conditions we regularly face on the road, I'm loving this-QG
I think it's official if they make it past 45 minutes.
Sideline wench just needs to talk to me.
Beat me to it
Maybe it's just the bald head, but Michael Bradley has been invisible.Jones seems to be everywhere -- having a great match so far IMO.
Just by the time it took you to add the !s
Closer to your thinking here, but he didn't look for it either. Got up and stayed in the play
Yeah looked like Dempsey screwed that up to me. Defender planted his foot Clint just didn't actually trip over it.
He's playing deep and the US has had a lot of the ball, so it's not that big of a surprise, is it?
Jones is the one getting forward while Bradley is hanging back. I'd like to see it the other way around but Bradley is just better at both so whatever.
A flop sans embellishment, I guess. I hate to say it, but in a game of this magnitude, in these ridiculous conditions on home soil, I don't mind him flopping to try to get a call. I really do hate that I just typed that, but it's the truth.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with playing for it in that situation when the defender screws up like that. Just pretend like you dont see the leg and run into it. Mistake by Dempsey IMO not to earn one there.
He went down. I'm not sure what else you want. BTW, it looked like Zusi was fouled in the box right after that too. And of course right after that the ref calls a foul on the US in the CR box while the corner kick was in the air.

It was close enough that I wouldn't even call it a flop. He either expected contact and; A- got a little, played on. B- didn't get what he thought was coming, played on. It wasn't Cesc-esque....
There may not have been. But I don't know how you can say that with 100% certainty from the views they've given us so far.There was no contact.He went down. I'm not sure what else you want.

The very first replay looked pretty clear to me. The second one was way too far away.There may not have been.

I don't think there is an official mark. I honestly have no idea what the exact rule is here.
He's not really been tested though.
Agree about the foul on Zusi - that one seemed a clear penalty to me.He went down. I'm not sure what else you want. BTW, it looked like Zusi was fouled in the box right after that too. And of course right after that the ref calls a foul on the US in the CR box while the corner kick was in the air.
Ok they just said if it is abandoned, they start from scratch.
