Truth time:

No, I did not wake up at 6:30 this morning to watch the USA vs Slovenia World Cup match, but from the screams of agony I heard from my living room, apparently there is quite a stir going on surrounding a foul called on Maurice Edu, USA World Cup player, that cost USA the win. Although most viewers believed the call was for supposed offsides, the official call was a foul against Edu, which nearly every commentator on the planet has stated was poorly called.

The ref, Koman Coulibaly, has been around since 1993, but this was apparently his first World Cup match, and according to sources, will likely be his last. Most commentators and experts on the sport say that the foul shouldn’t have been called, and the internet is ablaze with angry rants, Photoshopped pictures of the ref on fire, and more. The best fact about Koman? He was born on the same day as America itself : The fourth of July.
