Hope Solo looks like Liv Tyler, but with talent.

Just watching the replays on ESPN...who made the call that the PK had to retaken, and when did they call it? The lineswoman is even with the goal line and her flag stayed down and there was no reaction from the referee. The ball is cleared and the Americans celebrate, and still no reaction from the referee and the lineswoman backpedals to the corner. Who made the call? When did they make the call? For that matter, what was the call?

It's a testament to how well they played that I keep forgetting they were down to 10 for the last 55 minutes.

Hope moved before the ball was kicked, made by another ref(asst) away from the net. The 2nd Brazil goal was offsides also

An American defender left the line early so they carded that player and blamed it on the goaltender.
Jacqui Merksham was the official and she was attrocious. Good news though: Her awful I mean epic play is going to get her some attention when FIFA staffs the Men's World Cup. She seems to enjoy making **** poor calls just like the men's refs do.
FIFA is the problem folks. They have no idea how to keep their officials accountable and haven't the foggiest on how to assess worthiness to officiate global events such as the World Cup.
As for Brazil.... I was almost impressed with them until they started diving and Merkshem started calling the US for it. That Ericka (#13 on Brazil) is a wonderful person. Rolls around on the grass for a while, carted off the field on a stretcher and then pops up, runs around the perimeter a little bit and back in the game she comes! Marta dove a few times. In fact, IIRC, she was rolling on the grass when the US started the drive down the field that yielded the tying goal.
It's a shame, but not too surprising, as to why so many Americans have such a low opinion of professional soccer. They don't play the game the way it is meant to be played, they have even more suspect officials than hockey does (that's saying something), and they glorify the dive.
Very sad for the sport.
However, good for Team USA to overcome. Too bad no Chastain moment!

She can move laterally before the ball is kicked, which she did. The call was against the person who entered the box early. It didn't have an effect on the play at all because the player never played the ball, but it is in the rule book. Very ticky tack. The problem is though, who called it? The assistant didn't other wise the flag would have been raised, the main ref didn't other wise she would have blown the play dead as soon as the ball left the box.

I can't believe how great it is to watch the fans of these teams root for their teams. This year in the MLS it has seemed the supporters sections have really upped their game (save the Revs, but that's another story). The natural MLS rival for Seattle makes the Western Conference quite a bit more interesting.

I am fairly sure it was the referee that called it. It looked like she waited to see if the PK was scored or not, but if you watch close she was not in any hurry to get closer to the play right after the save. While technically the call was correct, the US player was a step into the box, that is such a close call that you hardly ever see it called.
As for Solo, she can move all she wants as long as she stays on the line. I have seen keepers bounce back and forth along the line while the kick is about to be taken.

MLS All-Star First XI
Goalkeeper: Kasey Keller (SEA)
Defenders: Omar Gonzalez (LA), Sean Franklin (LA), Rafa Márquez (NY), Tim Ream (NY)
Midfielders: David Beckham (LA), Jack Jewsbury (POR), Brek Shea (DAL)
Forwards: Landon Donovan (LA), Thierry Henry (NY), Chris Wondolowski (SJ)
Interesting squad, I think a case could be made for many other players, but if these are the guys they'll throw out against Man U, it should be interesting to watch while Man U runs all over them.
