    USMNT fans were absolutely livid the refs didn't call offsides on the Uruguay goal that eliminated the team from Copa América 2024

    The United States men’s national soccer team was eliminated from the 2024 Copa América after its 1-0 loss to Uruguay on Monday night in Kansas City.

    Panama taking down Bolivia sealed the deal for the United States, who will exit this year’s tournament with a very difficult loss on home soil to fathom.

    While blame will certainly be assessed to the U.S. coaching staff and players for flubbing this opportunity, Uruguay left backer Mathías Olivera’s goal came under lots of scrutiny from USMNT fans.

    The score in question gave Uruguay the lone point of the match, but it sure looked like two players, including Olivera, were clearly offsides on the replay.

    The VAR look at the play didn’t help the United States, as the officials maintained after review that the goal was good and no offsides had occurred. How they assessed the VAR angle was a bit strange to say the least.

    This image just shows how truly egregious a missed call it was for the officiating crew. It’s just hard to understand the rationale behind the decision.

    On a night where some of the game was broadcast with a bad camera view, this Uruguay goal stung even worse for the U.S.

    United States fans were absolutely livid about the no-call, one that had a definite impact in sending the team home from this year’s Copa América.
