The referees were dead wrong on this one as Wayne Rooney put the ball down, put his foot on it and rolled it onto the field of play.

Cristiano Ronaldo had two goals disallowed against Chelsea yesterday, this one and the breakaway he scored when he was wrongly ruled offside.

Funny thing about this corner is that we on the U.S. Olympic Team used this successfully throughout the 3 1/2 years leading up to the 2000 Olympics in Australia with Clive Charles. An even better story is that when we used it against Brazil down in Brazilia, the ref and linesman pulled the same thing and because Landon was in the Ryan Giggs role, the television announcers and newspaper writers absolutely killed him.

They were asking if the Americans even knew the rules of the game and poor Landon’s picture was plastered all over the place because of it….
