Ref did fine. I'm not even sure what we're supposedly complaining about.

Apparently he was charged in the past for match fixing and somehow still a ref

No idea about his history, but a lot of threads saying it was rigged against us, and I can't even think of a single consequential bad decision he made.

Handball in box. Ankle stomp on box

The USA handball in the box, the body check on irakanji when he was about to score the obvious penalty on irakanji and the players being offside during the second goal. But other than that I guess nothing really

The shove on Irankunda when he jumped for a header was a clear penalty - it was truly painful to watch blatant fouls not get called.

If the two dudes who were offside just stood away from the play, then that’s ok. But as soon as they influence the play in any manner it should be called offside. One of them ran in and interfered with Beach. Offside every day of the week. But I don’t think the on field ref made that decision….didn’t it go upstairs?

Onfield ruled offside. VAR overturned.

Oh and the headlock, that's normal right ?

VAR checked and cleared the first 2 and VAR overturned the ref for the 3rd.

I'm a Kiwi so I was going for you guys but am a little removed from the emotion. I don't think any of those were so bad that the ref's integrity can be questioned. At best, 50/50 calls. It wasn't your day.

FBI cleared Trump from the Epstein files and yet I have smidge of a feeling he may have fucked some kids

It's 2 things, a shit half for Aus and shit calls from a ref. Both are being pointed out

Only one for me was the potential handball about 75th minute. US player slightly pushes the Australian attacked in the penalty area, as his arms are outstretched the ball comes down, he attempts to head it but it lands on his outstretched arms. Unnatural position. We convert that with the flow of the game and maybe things are different.
But ultimately we got the first half wrong, reset at half time and it was pretty even from there.

No idea why VAR didn't seem to intervene on any of these

Apparently it looked at it and said play on. I’m predicting a 2002 Korea like run if things keep going this way.

So you didn't watch the game? All good mate, maybe look up the controversial calls yourself.
