NEW YORK (AP) — Landon Donovan tells David Letterman that soccer either needs more referees or instant replay.
The U.S. soccer star appeared on the “Late Show” on CBS on Tuesday night after returning from the World Cup, where the Americans won their group for the first time in 80 years. The United States was twice the victim of the disputed calls that have plagued the tournament, as the team had goals disallowed.
Donovan says “for us it’s difficult because we know how fast the game is, and as a referee, you can’t see everything.”
He says it’s frustrating “to put that much into something you’re doing and then all of a sudden, it’s taken away from you.”
