I have a friend who played sports, and officiated high school and college basketball. He states, unequivocably...."ALL officials suck; some just suck less."
Mr. Jamaican Referee last night, cut us a break on 'Dolo's altercation.
But, as has been said, welcome to being a U.S. Supporter. These CONCACAF refs. seem to take out their hatred of our success, or international policies by fricking the soccer team. Same for FIFA, you KNOW they made a shite-ton of money in 1994 which was the most well-attended World Cup ever, at least up to that time. Japan/Korea 2002 probably topped it, but every venue was sold out for every match in 1994, and it wasn't just ticket sales, it was asses in seats.

The US WC still holds the record for highest attendance figures, thanks in part to our massive stadiums.
Also, Dolo was just trying to get the ball and then got swatted at, then pushed twice. He didn't do anything.
ETA: The WC attendance figures are even more impressive when you consider that only 24 teams played in that WC, not 32.

You need to go look at highlights from that WC. If Japan or Korea weren't playing, the stadiums were about 60% full.
