Klinsmann is Correct About the Referee Bias

Question

All referring has favored Euro teams facing any teams from Africa or the Americas.

AUTOMATICALLY, any Euro team on any given day at the WC level receives benefits of any doubts on close calls (EVERY CALL IS CLOSE) and an offsides or a foul will go against the opponent of a European squad.

Switzerland is going to get blown out on any given day by ARGENTINA. RU kidding me??? Switzerland's best chance is to play back and compacted and balanced--however this is NOT the Swiss way of naturally playing. They will be overwhelmed by Messi, who will net at least one goal today. He is making up for his no-show the last Cup, and this Cup they have a REAL head coach and not the Maradona mistake they have forgotten about. Argentina is gaining confidence. Switzerland should be +2 and then MAYBE I might consider taking them.

Not even a referee's bias can help Switzerland.

ARG -1

Klinsmann&#x27;s game plan is to attack. Why the line is still 2 is the perception that the USA has a goalie and defense that locked down Germany, and that the USA has scored almost the lowest total to this point of the 16 through. Yet most of the goals were scored in this venue in the rainforest. Defenses will start to collapse in the sweltering heat. Germany scored 4, and the Dutch netted 5 goals when they played here. I think this total will get tilted by the first half.Altidore is available. Look for Dempsey to have far more touches than he had vs Germany. USA over 1 goal &#x2B;110USA to advanceUSA Belgium over 2 -145 / over 2.5 &#x2B;105

Klinsmann got a lot of things wrong that saw the Yanks play way too conservative, often times with just one forward. With a substitute to burn heading into extra time, Klinsmann didn't flinch when he saw Belgium bench boss Marc Wilmots bring on a fresh Lukaku. Tired U.S. back four were punished by Lukaku when he brushed aside U.S. centre back Matt Besler before setting up Kevin De Bruyne early in extra time.

So stop blaming the officiating, the U.S. were outcoaced & outclassed by a far superior squad.

[/Quote]Honestly, Belgium has the stronger squad.  I don&#x27;t think you&#x27;ll see many argue differently.  Overall they just looked better, and ultimately played better.Unfortunately for the United States, the opportunities they had were not capitalized on.  And the USA had opportunities.  They very easily could have won this game.  Tim Howard alone prevented a loss in regulation for the USA.  The offensive didn&#x27;t deliver, it is plain and simple.  The opportunities came...and went.  It was disappointing to say the least, but that is life.I think there is a bright future for the USMNT.
