Clint Dempsey doesn't even get a foul call there.

The contact on a superstar is generally going to draw a foul, but yeah Im not sure thats even a foul.

I, for one, thought it was a yellow. Watching live, I said yellow.

it looked worse than it was b/c of messi selling it and/or not having the strength to hold his ground

Agreed, a foul maybe, but definitely not a yellow especially when the player already has one

Another huge flaw to soccer that Americans have a hard time with, so silky a team has to play a man down because of that bullshite.

You didn't see a foul? I thought it was clearly a foul. Borderline yellow as well.

Do these refs get held accountable for some of their retarded calls especially a game of this caliber? That was awful

It was a foul, not a yellow. But whether he had a yellow or not should NEVER matter when the referee makes his decision. I hate this mentality. Apply the rules to each situation.

I said yellow at full speed, but slo-mo made it look a little harsh. In fairness, ref doesn't get slo-mo

I don't think borderline yellow, he simply just got beat and turned his body

again, soccer's biggest problem is punishing strength and rewarding weakness

He got wrong footed and was beat. I disagree that Messi simply ran into him.

Nope. Player stood his ground, didn't move into Messi's path. Messi just ran right at him and did nothing to go around him. No foul.

As a (former) CB that liked to play very tough, I completely agree with that sentiment, actually.

did messi change his direction in any way?

yeah the defender go this legs mixed up, and i get that in soccer that can be a foul, but messi didn't juke him or anything

i just don't get why the defender, even if not fully balanced, doesn't have a right to the space he's established

I agree with this, I wouldn't fault the ref for calling a foul, but a yellow? No way
