Should be 3-2. They probably shouldn't continue saying that refs name on TV for his own safety. There are people far more into this than I that would actually do something about it.

haha please, you guys don't know anything about football or football riots. :p

Ehh, not a big deal. There are many, many bad calls in sports all the time.

An ump just cost someone a perfect game a couple of weeks ago on an awful call. Hes not dead.

USA obviously proved they deserve to be there more than Slovenia. Call me what you, but we had more possession, our chances were they - they got lucky overall. Great first strike by

Slovenia but overall USA showed much more today to deserve the win, the 3 points, and a bit of respect. Terrible call.

USA public, welcome to the world of football! Teams and countries have to live with these mistakes, nothing will be done afterwards, you'll be lucky to get an apology from the ref.

We have baseball. The epitome of bad officiating.

If I'm doing my math correctly, England wins both of its two games and USA beats Algeria, and both US and England advance, correct?

welcome to the real sports world where everything high in statistics don't always translate to win.

SVN had 49% possession to USA's 51%

SVN is ranked 25th, USA is ranked 14th

SVN commited 15 fouls with 4 yellow cards, to USA's 18 fouls with 1 yellow card.

Amazing how the team that doesn't win / draws (though American newspapers somehow seem to think that a draw = win), always blames the ref, the ball, claims the other team got lucky eh?

Otherwise, great game by both teams and quite an amazing comeback for USA.

No way.

Basketball has the worst...

The NBA isn't a sport. Its a glorified exhibition.

College Basketball officiating is generally pretty good.

Amazing how the team that doesn't win / draws (though American newspapers somehow seem to think that a draw = win), always blames the ref, the ball, claims the other team got lucky eh?

The call in the box was dreadful, you can't deny that.

USA newspapers aren't retarded. I assume you mean the headline from the USA v England game...they were just referring to the fact that England was heavily favored and we were able to draw.

The call in the box was dreadful, you can't deny that.

I dunno, from what I was seeing it looked like the whistle got blown before the ball passed the line. Could it have been a bad / unlucky call? Certainly, but they do happen all the time.

However, the ref's decision is final.

Football (soccer) doesn't seem to use technology as much as other sports do, and I really hope in the future they go invest more in it since it will only make referee decisions more accurate and fair.

USA newspapers aren't retarded.

Didn't say that now did I? But a draw is still not a win, regardless of how favored one team is. It was an exaggeration and thats that.

Statistics != win. Uruguay beat South Africa 3 - 0, yet Uruguay had 49% of the possession vs. RSA's 51%.

Thats the beauty of football....it's not about statistics!

Oh totally, this world cup has been nothing but proof of that. But I was just referring to Alladaskill's point about USA deserving to win, and SVN being lucky.

From what it looked like, both teams were pretty even and both played well. USA's comeback was certainly impressive, probably even the best in the 2010WC so far, but that doesn't mean SVN's play was just pure luck.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
