As far as this call is concerned, I went back and looked at the video that strange posted earlier, and which seems to be the predominant camera angle available. Based on that angle, I'd say its impossible for me to say definitively that Michael Bradley is offsides - to my eye he looks even at worst, and even is on. Secondly, I'm certain that without video replay and without the linesman showing the flag, there's no way the referee would be in position to make an offsides call regardless...and in cases where its close, the advantage goes to the player. Of course, offsides is notoriously missed in competitions, but I think in this case it would have been the wrong call...
but that's not even what the guy called, so its moot. I think the guy either straight up screwed up, or else he got caught up in the emotion realizing that an american victory would pretty much seal algeria out of it. the us should have taken the 3 points.
