Gol?

I was taking a random video at the FIFA Fan Fest during Thursday's match between Italy and Slovakia when this happened...



Unfortunately, the thousands of cheering fans in this video were disheartened when the referee said that Italy was offsides and that the goal would not count. I saw several grown men crying that afternoon. Sad day in Italy... and a sad weekend for the seasonal soccer fan in me! Italy, South Korea and USA lost. Looking forward to Spain v. Portugal during dinner tonight though!

There have been several controversial calls during this World Cup, thus prompting FIFA's President Sepp Blatter to apologize, stating that better technology will be taken into consideration in the future. For more information, read these articles by NY Times and ESPN.
