Watched some bits and pieces - but the commentators spent about half their time byotching about the officiating. The few instances where I caught an instant replay, their byotching was completely unjustified. Big surprise.

I'd say they were more highlighting how much differently the game is officiated in international play compared to America. And to be honest, I thought the crew was inconsistent in their playcalling in the game.

I agree. I thought that the crew was not only inconsistent, but they missed some calls (based on my armchair view) due to being out of position. I hope that will not carry over to the Olympics.
