"I'm a little gutted. I don't know how they stole the goal from us. I'm not sure what the call was. It's too bad because I think that was a fair goal. I saw a good finish and a good goal. He [the referee] wouldn't tell us what the call was. [But] I'm proud of our guys. My guess is there's not many teams in this tournament that could have done what we did. We know we're good enough to play against a team like that. We can't keep putting ourselves in holes like that. We've got one more chance against Algeria, and we're still alive."
Landon Donovan
"I still don't know why the goal was disallowed. This team still understands how to fight for 90 minutes. This is something we've seen time and time again. It is important to understand that the players put a lot of emotion into the game and now they want a fair outcome."
Bob Bradley
Now I'm no longer wondering why USA is the #1 country in the world. May not have anything to do with money. It is in their spirit. Any other team I'm sure would have thrown a bitch fit at being denied not one, but TWO perfectly legit goals. But that's not how the Americans roll. They persist on and look where it got them.
Well done, boys. I'm so proud.
God bless America!
