spoke to daughter tonight... she said the decision had already been made and reviewed as per protocol... the late over turning is why there is a hoohah about it.... the team itself did not have to field that player if they didnt agree.... professional sport...when money gets involved and they are BIG money...fair play goes out the window.

How 'bout that...Belgium whooped the USA's a$$. Congrats.
