SALVADOR, Brazil — A college basketball game has broken out in the middle of the World Cup.
In a psychological maneuver that would have been appreciated by John Calipari and Rick Pitino, Jurgen Klinsmann did his best to work the referee before Tuesday’s second-round match between the United States and Belgium.
For a moment, it was difficult to tell whether this was the Round of 16 of the World Cup or the Sweet 16 of the N.C.A.A. tournament.
At a news conference on Monday, Klinsmann was asked about the appointment of Djamel Haimoudi of Algeria to referee Tuesday’s match.
“We hope it’s not a concern,” Klinsmann said. “He did already two games so far and he did them very well. We wish he continues his refereeing the perfect way he’s done so far.”
But — and there is always a but in the heightened emotion of the World Cup — Klinsmann went on.
“Is it a good feeling?” he said. “No.”
He noted that Haimoudi was from Algeria, which played and lost to Belgium in the first round. He noted that Haimoudi could speak French on the field with Belgium’s players. He also noted that the United States had defeated Algeria on a last-second shot at the 2010 World Cup (by the very same Landon Donovan cut by Klinsmann before this tournament).

Klinsmann did not accuse Haimoudi of eating Belgian waffles every day for breakfast, but you get the point.
As he kept talking, perhaps concerned that he was about to earn a verbal yellow card, Klinsmann both criticized the naming of Haimoudi and said he had no problem with it.
“Sometimes I don’t understand FIFA,” Klinsmann said. “It’s difficult always to choose the right referees for the right games and it’s always been kind of tricky for FIFA, but it is what it is. We give it absolutely the benefit of the doubt. We respect the decision. We’re going to be spot on in the game and hope that everything goes well.”
Sunil Gulati, the president of the United States Soccer Federation and a member of FIFA’s executive committee, quickly stepped into the role of sweeper.
He noted that Klinsmann complimented Haimoudi on his first two games and expected to see another capable performance on Tuesday.
“I think he said everything that needs to be said on that,” Gulati said.
Questioning the choice of referees is nothing new at the World Cup. Suspicion and second-guessing are full-time sports. On Sunday, Mexico grew livid about a decisive, last-minute penalty kick awarded to a European team, the Netherlands, by a European referee from Portugal.
In an effort to be fair and inclusive at the world’s most popular sporting event, FIFA chooses referees who are considered top rate in their regions but have not necessarily officiated the most important games on the most visible stages. According to The Wall Street Journal, only four officials here have had World Cup experience.

Salute to Algeria
Pundits, commentators etc will call it a shock but really its not in my opinion, thyere still a very young team with all of them making their World Cup debuts, the 2nd round is a good achievement for them to be honest They will have much better chance winning the Euros in 2 years
Would it actually be a shock if USMNT beat Belgium? Belgium look

Why is this dude always killing Ozil?
Because he plays for Arsenal. Ozil always been a pass first player, he absolutely lied last night.
In the summer of 2011 the Arsenal players and staff, led by manager Arsene Wenger, led a train on the wife and eldest daughter of Stewart Robson at the Islington home the couple shared. Since the incident, often referred to as the Arse-anal Express, Robson has led a one man charge against the club and it's esteemed French manager.
