And The Soccer Officials Are Consistent- 2 Games, 2 Bad Calls (UPDATED: Maybe Three)

((HT: ESPN/FIFA))

Cameroon and El Tri are playing in a downpour in Natal to start Day 2 of the games in Brazil...

And we have another instance of an official missing a call- completely...

9th Minute and Giovani dos Santos gets robbed on an offsides call


Cameroon may have been just as robbed in the 20's with some pinball action in the Mexico box, but the first half is more Cameroon trying to drop nine and take advantage of set plays while Mexico looks like they're pressing...

And it appears that a call in the 30th minute, fans of El Tri had another chance to yell off a corner kick and goal that was disallowed as well with dos Santos in the box...

Here's Clay's Vine on that one


Should make for an interesting second half...

Semis Start To Get Set In Champions League... Offsides Aside...

((HT: UEFA/Fox Soccer))

The HQ will admit that, when Cristiano Ronaldo knocked in the first goal of their game against Galatasaray, we thought the game was over. But the home Turks turned back the clock about a decade or so with goals by Sneijder and Drogba- before Ronaldo did it all over again for the 5-3 aggregate win...

Real Madrid advances...

Next up, at the same time, was Malaga and Borussia Dortmund...
The game was back and forth, but Malaga thought they were going to be another BBVA Liga squad moving through...

Except...

Here's the game winner from Santana- offsides and all...


"I think I need to see a doctor. It feels like we've won the trophy," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "My assistants and me were looking at each other in shock in the dressing room and saying, `This is crazy'. This is the best I've ever felt.'

Two goals in stoppage time will do that for you...
