Who better to ask than someone who was there? Landon Donovan, who kicked the free kick, explains it this way:

"I am assuming it was a foul somewhere. We asked the ref many times who the foul was and he couldn’t explain it. I don’t know what to think about it, I can’t explain it and I don’t know how there was a call. We asked him numerous times in a non-confrontational manner and he just ignored us or didn’t understand.”

Sorry, there's nothing to explain. There was no penalty.

Eric Wynalda, a former player for the US team, thinks there will be an investigation. He thinks it's even possible that some sort of deal was made before the game to make sure the US doesn't win.
