the first goal was basically an own goal. the US player just laid out what was a perfect pass to Portugal and the goalie seemed to slip and fall. it was an ugly goal. that was the really devastating goal of the game.

what really ticks me off is the arbitrary injury time. why can't FIFA just stop the damn clock like every other sport in the world does when the ball goes out of play. it was like they just wanted to give Portugal all the time in the world to score with no actual measurement of how much time actually deserves to be added.
