We will all know in a little over a month.... (come on US, don't Eff up!)

We beat Spain...that's something even if it wasn't a big tournament you can bet they weren't just laying down. We're getting it and investing in the youth of our sport more and more each year which is good, it's a slow growth process but it's steadily catching on.

Also this was ruled a handling foul and in my opinion absolutely is. There is still a great deal of debate in the refereeing community if it deserves to be called a handling foul though and the goal called back.

I'm on board with everything you are saying!
I do feel that video replay for goals and penalty kicks should be implemented to cut down on diving, uncalled handballs, and improper offside calls.
