US defenders have all brought up the supposed missed red card as a way to defend the controversial pro US calls late. Why not defend the ref's delay and subsequent handball call on it's merits, other than changing the subject?

It's as if the US media put out the official talking points, which are now being regurgitated by blind patriots everywhere, with little regard for the truth. Now, I'm not necessarily claiming you're engaging in such tactics..just an observation.
