Anybody catch the Italy/Senegal game today? There was a play where the Italian player with the ball on the right side of the court lowered his shoulder into a moving Senegal player and was called for an offensive foul. It was a close call, but the Italian player did lower his shoulder and make contact. The official called an offensive foul and the announcers said, "That was a blown call. Italy has a right to complain! Another official should have come in and helped him out on that call!" Yeah, right....maybe if all three officials were ball-watching! How can announcers know so little about officiating and get those jobs?
