Tommy Smith, how yuh go come on TV and say the goal was robbery? Cyar say that kind of thing, even the US players commentators trying to be a bit diplomatic about it.
I think the referee blew the whistle (and he did blow early) for De Merit(or Altidore?) obstructing the Slovenian defender from getting to the back post where Edu was.
However, there was a lot of pulling and tugging in the box, and of course ESPN showed 3 instances where the US players were being held.
