I can understand that to a degree, but NBC's solution to this was to banish the matches to some obscure cable affiliate like MSNBCSSCSN or whatever it was.  I know they are out to make money, but as a spectator and fan and customer, that's not my primary concern (and really this brings us back to that FOC article from…

Canadians definitely have reason to gripe about some questionable calls and non-calls, but all this "the ref decided who was going to win before the game began" crap needs to stuff.  US teams have been jobbed by terrible officiating plenty of times over the years too (I'm looking at you, USA vs Slovenia in WC 2010).

Oh man, just you bringing it up caused me to go on Youtube in order to rewatch it.  Such a great eulogy.
