That it is not *my* reach, correct?
The world was abuzz over the two straight games in which the refs tried to deny the U.S. victories. Did you read the Euro commentary the next day?
Like we say, in MLB games you might see Felix get 16 strike calls blown, Shields get 1 blown, and we all know what was going on .... but still, somebody will say there is no way you can charge bias. ... ever, apparently?
But IMHO, the fact that we are in tune with the MLB game, increases our sensitivity to when the umps are leaning too much in one direction.
... those in tune with futbol were consistently offering their condolences at the bias the U.S. was facing.
