heres the video of the robbed goal. heres my explanation for it being totaly ridiculous
no one knows what the call was. either way, edu was miles onside, and bradley was being tackled into being a hair offside. when offsides is called, thats an indirect kick. the ref is seen walking away, no arm raised. when its indirect, the arm needs to be raised until the ball is touched. his arm is not raised, so we have no clue what was called.
landon donovan said this afterwards to espn

"I'm proud of our guys," he said. "I don't think there's many teams that would respond that way after going 2-0 down [but] I'm a little gutted, to be honest. I don't know how they stole that third goal from us. I'm not sure what the call was. I don't know."
On referee Koman Coulibaly, he added: "It was the guy's first World Cup game, so maybe he got a little caught up in the moment, but you can't take a perfectly good goal from a team, especially at a World Cup.
"When we asked him several times, in a non-confrontational manner, why he made that call, he just ignored us. Maybe he didn't understand us since I don't know how much English he speaks."
