text: who thinks we should call referees out on the carpet and justify their calls? they should be shown the play and if they missed the call..own up to it...  in this  game..the blown call..would not have advanced the usa to the next round..but it did decide the game...  the nba refs were horrid at best and i was going for miami..  all refs need to publically apologize for missed calls or if they are convict on their ability to call the play...then justify their call. i think what it is referring to is the lack of accountability by all referee's in alot of different sports.  true soccer referee's (which i happen to be on for 7 years) are out there on an island and we have the benefit of watching replays, but all officials should have some sort of grading system or be called out when they make a mistake.  if i make a mistake at my job, i get called on it.  what makes officials, especially soccer referee's immune to it?
