After Landon Donovan kept a U.S. run alive and then Clint Dempsey had a beautiful (ONSIDE) feed to Jozy Alitdore, Altidore put it in the back of the net to make it 3-1. Except, it isn’t 3-1. It’s still 2-1. The Referee inexplicably waves the goal off. No offside was called and no explanation was given, but the goal has been disallowed. Still 2-1.
