I tuned into the actual action about 20 seconds before Donovan actually kicked in the lob ball, so that was very coincidental timing on my part. The announcers already spoke all they could to say it was an atrocious call, (going so far as to just not call the referee blind and the one who may have conceived him) so I can't add much more to this.
It doesn't matter much now, as the US team still needs to actually score a win, and they're in. Nothing simpler than that (if they lose their third game, then they go home, right?).
Anyway, I'm not propagating this, but I did just come across it, so have a look at the newest internet absurdity of the day...
