2011 Womens World Cup Quarterfinal

Good to know the commentators are as confused by the refereeing as I am...

Happens when you have no idea the rules of what you are watching.

Hope Solo saves a penalty kick. The ref decides that one of the American players entered the box too soon (although everyone only found out this fact after the game), so they have to redo the penalty kick. Solo gets a yellow card for complaining (quite right to complain because everything was so poorly explained). Marta (sp?), a Brazilian player takes the re-done penalty and scores. And is followed for the rest of the match by loud boos from the crowd.

Later, some sort of penalty occurs that nets an American player a yellow card. And the Americans get to take the free kick. For some unquantifiable reason.

Among others.

It sounds brilliant.
