U.S.-Slovenia referee IS finished for the rest of WC!!!(he was dropped today)

[Adesor Vafaseya]

FIFA removed the Youtube video ,the evidance that there was no foul.
Why doesn't Fifa at least put this video on their site?
Fifa does not even mention any thing about This ref....or other Ref errors on their site. What does that tell you.
They are following IRG techniques.

don worry someone else will put it on youtube... the evidance is there.
to all true-youtubians:
"Natarsin, natarsin, ma hammeh baham upload hastim"
"Video Delete, tajavoz, Shekanjeh, degaar assar nadarad"
"ye hafteh do hafteh, referee hamoom narafteh"
"Toop (toope football albabteh) tank feshfesheh, referee bayad shosteh sheh"

[BacheLot]

I disagree.
I think most of the referees have got the key decisions spot on this tournament.

well except for the last German & USA game the officiating has been for most part rather excellent overall..!

[IranSoccer#8]

The ref from Uzbekistan has been the best.

[khodam]

FIFA rule that referee would not explain his call is total crap. No one really knows what this ediot called. Soccer should be like American football with all the calls announced clearly.

But for all that matters this has been the most exciting game so far. Only shame US was robbed of this amazing comeback.

[elnino99]

that ref can fuk off....he destroyed my earning of a week, instead of doubling them up with a ****ed up call

[chuck bass]

cause of slavery

HAHAHAHA

JOHANNESBURG – The referee who disallowed a potential game-winning goal for the United States will face an expedited performance review from FIFA and is likely to be excluded from the rest of the World Cup, according to a FIFA source.

Koman Coulibaly from Mali disallowed Maurice Edu’s 86th-minute strike that would have given the USA a 3-2 lead over Slovenia at Ellis Park and likely would have led to a thrilling comeback victory Friday. Coulibaly appeared to rule that American midfielder Michael Bradley had impeded a Slovenian defender, even though video replays showed no infringement.

FIFA’s refereeing committee will review footage from the Group C clash on Saturday to evaluate Coulibaly’s performance after several USA players complained about the way he had struggled to control a fiercely contested match.

Every World Cup match is viewed live by an on-site assessor who monitors the referee’s performance. However, in this case, a deeper assessment will take place at the earliest possible opportunity. That this is happening so quickly suggests FIFA is taking the complaints about Coulibaly seriously and is likely to leave him unassigned to referee further matches, according to the source. He could still appear as a line judge or other supporting role.

lol its fifa not ir

[Asghar Agha]

he is not racist, he gave findley who is black a wrong yellow card.

he is just a lousy ref!

Don't know if you remember the world cup in Korea-Japan.
The Ugandian referee of the match between Italy and South Korea made major mistakes in favor of South Korea. That's why South Korea went to the semi-final.

[Spyder]

USA were robbed!

I actually am really liking this USA team...they got guts!

This ref was a total mofo! Stupid idiot from Mali!

Ref in U.S. World Cup game dropped

The referee who threw out the United States' would-be winning goal last week will not officiate another World Cup match anytime soon, FIFA announced Monday.
Mali-born Koman Coulibaly, who disallowed a crucial American goal against Slovenia on Friday night, was left off the list of referees for the next two days of matches.

The game ended in a 2-2 tie, rather than a 3-2 American victory that would have marked the biggest World Cupcomeback ever.

FIFA officials have been tight-lipped about the controversial call.

"We do not comment on referee decisions," a spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal.

Coulibaly received a poor rating from FIFA following an expedited review of his performance Saturday, Yahoo! Sports reported.

Forget for a second that this happened to team USA. Imagine if this was Iran how would we all feel right now getting robbed of a win? This was straight up the WORST call in the tournament and the ref from Mali deserves to be finished.

I was listening to a lot of sports talk radio here in the States and above all else what the American people are mad about the most, is the fact that there was no apology or explaination from the idiot when the reporters asked him quesitons about the call in French, English, or Spanish. Clearly he knew he effed up royally and this is the end of his career.

He actually was a promising star in Africa and they had him ref the African cup tournament's final game. Well team USA should overcome this and beat Algeria. If US can't beat Algeria they don't deserve to advance to the knockout stages.

*Note team USA has given up at least one goal in their last 12 or 13 matches now dating back to WC qualifying. That is the more pressing issue that their back four gave up two goals to SLOVENIA of all teams. USA you are better than that.

Koreans should thank the non-existent Ugandan referee and the Uganda nation for it.
