“I’m sayin’ foul play. I think this guy has definitely made some serious (pause) made some serious deals before this game ever happened.”

June 18, 2010

That’s Eric Wynalda, former member of Team USA, now doing video World Cup commentary for Yahoo Sports, holding back on his true feelings about today’s 2-2 tie in the U.S.-Slovenia World Cup match in which a late U.S. goal was called back by…

…well, a foul. Of some kind. Nobody seems to be quite sure what. Here’s the play:

I’m no expert, but there’s no offsides there that I can see. There are at least two Slovenian players with their arms wrapped completely around American players, but if there’s a U.S. foul in there, I don’t see it.

Come on, Eric, tell us how you feel!

“I watched this play six times. There are four fouls on the play and they are all on Slovenia.”

“He (the referee) seemingly wanted this game to end in a tie. I’m not going to go on the record and say he’s taking money…but there’s a pretty good chance.”
