Koman Coulibaly, on the first opportunity refereeing World Cup match, made a very controversial decision when he called ‘foul’ on Maurice Edu’s goal in a critical moment of USA vs Slovenia which would have given the Americans a 3-2 lead.
Koman Coulibaly, a Mali resident, has been refereeing since 1993. He has called several Africa Cup matches including the 2010 final, but never before a World Cup match until today.
Many analysts and fans around the world united in disbelief that the goal was called back. While the reason for the callback was unclear, most assumed the ruling was offsides.
SI senior writer Grant Wahl noted that the official FIFA ruling was not offsides, but a foul on Edu.
Said @chamberpost on Twitter: “Prediction: Referee Koman Coulibaly’s first World Cup game will be his last.”
Was it the right call? Judge for yourself by watching video of the goal and Koman Coulibaly’s ruling at Personal Injury Forum.

I meant my family. If it was between making a bad call and saving my children’s lives I would make the call.

Do we know if Koman’s family is being held at gun point somewhere? If some thugs told me .that they would kill my current if I didn’t make corrupt calls, I would not hesitate to do so.

I agree with your sentiment, that ref does suck, but what sucks even worse is your grasp of the English language. Good lord, would you like for me to fix it for you or proofread future postings? It’s just horrid, but the kind of thing that I’m used to seeing on the internet. I see that you are yet another that slipped through the cracks of 9th grade English class.
