It's hard to tell because of the camera angle, but it looked like #26 was offsides. He wasn't the guy who scored, he was the guy who made the first attempt.

All I've learned this World Cup is that soccer is a terribly officiated sport

Ready for the real defense to get back in there. Just goes to show how bad our depth is. Then again, Germany lost in a similar situation as us to today so it's all relative.

Right. But to Ecuador.

Turkey was the best team we played on paper


Turkey is technically ranked higher than Ecuador

That kind a stuff is why soccer is frustrating. There's no way to know when it really ends and offsides is arbitrary.

Because Fox sucks at soccer broadcasting

Not on the final shot, but on a pass, yes he was off sides. Oh well, doesn't matter. TUR goes home as not a total embarrassment to their country. Had high expectations coming into this WC.

I need a Trusty jersey.

That kid balled out until the very end.

Ok soccer dudes. How do you score in the 8th minute of a 7 minutes extra time? I don't get it at all.

1:11 over stoppage time? Didn't see anything to delay it longer.

The Trusty injury was almost 2 minutes starting at the 90th minute

Because we skipped the first 2-3 minutes while Trusty was down injured.

The number they show on the board is always considered the minimum. Ref can always add more

No one really knows how long a soccer game goes. The injury did occur right at the +7 though, so not crazy.

Soccer needs to have 3 refs out there. It's stupid to only have one. Even basketball has 3, and the court is about 1/5 the size.

Because for the first 2 minutes of that extra 7, one of our players was injured and play was stopped. So that rightfully got tacked on.

The game ends when the ref says. The clock is just a suggestion. It's a charming quirk of the beautiful game

Final match assessment:

Not much to take away regarding the US team since we played a bunch of subs most of the match.

Ref crew sucked donkey balls.

The end.

They count stoppages during the extra time and can add on additional time from that at the ref's discretion.

Ultimately though that ending was more about the unwritten rule that you don't call a game in the middle of a goal scoring opportunity. The game probably should have been called before that last throw in for Turkey though.

Hope Trusty isnt too hurt, he was the only one of the back 3 that I thought played well and would trust to be subbed in

They also usually let a team finish an attack before calling the game.

Hockey has 4 refs. Soccer is the most corrupt refereed sport period.

I imagine the main resistance to this is that offenses already move slow as molasses thanks to the offsides rules and nobody wants 2 more passive defenders blocking lanes out there.

Until they move to drone refs I don't see the issue ever getting fixed.
