World Cup referee
Koman Coulibaly is a household name all of a sudden.Shortly after the USA's Group C tie against Slovenia, Coulibaly's Wikipedia entry was vandalized. You can view a screen-grab of the page before it was fixed
here. Among the edits was this sentence:
"Coulibaly is rumoured to hate the United States of America with the burning passion of a white hot sun."
Coulibaly, from Mali, is under fire for his controversial call on what appeared to be a potential game-winning goal by USA substitute Maurice Edu in the 86th minute. Coulibaly whistled a foul on the play, to the dismay of Team USA and coach Bob Bradley.
"I still don't know why the goal was disallowed. Nobody knows at this moment," said Bradley after the match.
Landon Donovan added: "I'm a little gutted to be honest. I don't know how they stole that last goal from us. ... I'm not sure what the call was. He (the referee) wouldn't tell us what the call was." --
