So... this is for Troy, I guess.

This game is a heavy case of 14 on 11. I've seen piss poor officiating before, but never this one-sided.

Clearly the Mexican drug cartels know where the Panamanian refs' families live.

Twice Mexican players have ASSAULTED American players right in front of the ref. Dead ball and everything. No card.

At least 3 late tackles, or tackedowns that are clear yellows (cleats up, etc)... nothing.

Yet, the Americans have 3 yellows against them.

I wish i could do more than watch the game as it unfolds on on the ESPN tracker.

Sucks about the officiating. Not much we can do though, they shoot refs and players down their for calling the game fairly/screwing up. Pretty crazy.

It's completely fucked up. It's like the Mexican team owns the pitch, and they know it. They just keep fucking around. In the World Cup, I think at least 2-3 players would have been ejected by now.

This is a joke. An absolute joke.

Donovan just had a corner, and got hit with at least 8 cups in the brief moments the camera was on him, plus who knows what else.

That was an abortion.

If FIFA weren't as useless as the UN, something would be done.
