[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2732981, member: 12852"] I'll never understand why CONCACAF officials let them get away with all the little crap they do. First of all, the choke on McKinnie right in front of the ref needs to be dealt with promptly and decisively. It's a red card in every league on earth, but I could even accept yellow there given the fact it was in a tournament final and emotions were high. But to let that end with a neutral finger wagging is cheap and weak. The foul disparity throughout the game is perplexing. That was hardly a passive effort by Mexico that warranted 21 minutes of play before they earned their first whistle. As an official you have to know the history of a rivalry, the reputations for the way each team plays, and the fact that if you don't get control of the match early it'll be nearly impossible to get it back later. And to only give 3 minutes of stoppage time after all the bush league fake injuries that followed the goal is criminal. Anything less than 5 minutes means the ref wasn't paying attention. All that said, darn Jozy for missing that chippy. This was a game the US should have won in the first half. Too many prime chances missed that final bit of quality and it's a shame bc they easily could have won. [/QUOTE]
