...that if the blown call was not blatant anti-Americanism (you're suggesting something more complex is going on...I think you're wrong...I think the deep hatred of America in Europe could easily extend to FIFA (which is a Eurocentric organization) hierarchy and from there to the referees through league pressure), then the fan reaction you have noted here (oh well...bad calls happen, no biggie) certainly is anti-Americanism. If the bad call had happen to France or Spain or England or Italy...the fan reaction would have been absolute FUROR.
