Whether you agree with my opinion or not, at least I saw what happened.
You, on the other hand are just arguing about something you didn't even witness. That is silly.

Did you really just compare this to a puck going off a refs skate? Seriously?
That's a terrible comparison.
To make a hockey comparison, this would be like calling a too many men on the ice penalty late in the game when the skater coming off is a foot away from the bench. Then awarded them with a penalty shot when the defencemen clearly got the puck before the skates.
The US soccer coach even said after the game she has never seen that call before, and she looks to be about 55-60 yrs old. Do you honestly think Mike Babcock can say he's never seen a puck go off a refs skate that ultimately lead to a goal? It happens all the time.
Anyway, lets just agree to disagree on the matter.
