They said the flag was up, on ESPN's broadcast.

I cannot imagine the melt if he had made it, was onside, but was called offside. Would've been epic.

Fricking Wondo. You basically have one job and one job only - poach a goal. And you blew it.

Darke immediately said the flag was up but then a moment later corrected himself and said it wasn't up for offsides but that the linesman was just signalling goal kick.

This is consistent with the match stats that show no offsides.

The Gaurdian's live gamecast said the offside flag was raised also.

Here is my theory,in the write up of the stats, FIFA knowing that the sideline ref cheated, called it a goal kick, when the ref signals the goal kick, not the linesman, so as to squelch the out cry of having an Algerian crew working our game.


The POS lineman was going to cheat us, but Wondo missed, so FIFA came up with a cock-n-bull story.

Wondo should have passed to Dempsey for a wide open goal.
