Not at all. I didn't think they were biased against us, I saw bad calls both ways in the last two matches. I've also seen a lot of bad calls in non-US matches, the worst had to be when the French scored a goal and the refs didn't give them credit. The officiating just isn't what it was in the prevoius world cups I've watched closely (going back to 1994).
Jorge L. from Uruguay I think was inept (who did the US - Italy match) and I hope for the sakes of the surviving teams he won't be reffing any of their matches.

Its not the Refs fault the US didnt take advantage of the oppotunities they had to score. We only has ourselves to blame for the losses.
If anything the refs tried to do was help the US in the Ghana game. They called 32 fouls against Ghana, and look how we took advantage of that, oh wait, we did NOT take advantage of it!

No of course not.What about little Trinidad and Tobago when crouch pulled our defender's hair to score? The referees were fair in all the American games.

Absolutely not. Soccer is not decided on by the refs. We were lucky to play a weakened Czech team and still got raped, and teh same goes for italy AND Ghana!
The idea people even need to hate us is ridiculous... We don't pose a single ounce of threat so why would they waste it on us??

this would be more important if it was enough to get us into the 2nd round...as it was...we'd have tied the game..giving us 2 pts...if we had tied the game up 2-2 then I'd be even more mad because that means their goal kept us out of the cup(Since Italy won)..as we only scored 1 goal..and the other goal was undeserved THEN i'd feel that the free kick really took something from us...A TIE was not going to get us into the round of 16..as we could not score a 2nd goal then it really doesn't matter..

You all really can't face being horrible at something, can you?
Would you please give it a rest? The refs did not have it out for USA football team. The USA team played really crappy football so deal with it and move on.

Grow up. You just can't handle not being the best at everything, can you? The US football team just isn't very good, don't blame the refs just face it.

Not at all. The referees were superb, and absolutely unbiased.
