The refs always, ALWAYS, call offsides if it's that close and never give the benefit of the doubt to the attacking player. It never happens. When in doubt, the flag goes up. And all that was onsides were Dempsey's feet. His body was offsides albeit not by much. As for the referee letting the play continue, maybe he didn't look at the linesman until much later and maybe he blew his whistle while it was going on but nobody heard it - something that happened more than a couple times last night because of the noise. The refs didn't blow that game last night. Sure, there were a couple calls that were questionable and I didn't agree with a couple of the yellow cards but they didn't cause us to tie, Drew Moor did. EDIT: And I didn't mean to say Clint sucked, just that he didn't do much. That's not so much on him but on the team's attack in general which was pretty disappointing as a whole. On the replay they showed at halftime, you could see that the ref never looked at the linesman during the entire clip. He even signaled that it was a goal, which means that it wasn't called until probably 15-20 seconds after the flag went up. And much like tie goes to the runner, too close to call offsides go to the attacking player. US is right.
