Question

2 hours of hard work for the man in yellow to hand the game over to Mexico for no reason. These things make me sick in this sport. I guess the USA and Mexico are "meant to be"

FIFA SUX. No doubt FIFA wants Mexico vs USA. Since when is there extra time in extra time? I am so f$$$ing sick of corruption with this world.

zamigo6 · Answer

This is one of the more disgusting ones i&#x27;ve seen in a long time. Skip the final whistle and give the game away.

disgusting doesn&#x27;t even begin to describe it... FIFA and CONCACAF are rotten to the coremoney talks

zamigo6 · Answer

Well I&#x27;m glad I&#x27;m not the only one at least...I watch the entire game to watch it given away like that it makes me sick (yes I know I take soccer/football too seriously). I needed to vent after that one, how disgraceful

It will be more fun to watch the US manhandle Mexico anyway.  But that was an absolutely disgusting end to a game.

Zamigo, I had no interest in the game once the 90 minutes was over, but he clearly yanks him as the cross comes in. Its a tough way to see a game end, but I get what the ref was calling. Also felt that the ref had a great game under very tense circumstances. That one decision, be it a big one, seems to define how he officiated. I disagree. 50/50 call, he chose to call it. Just my 2 cents. On to the next game

The better team won the game, it would be a travesty of justice if Costa Rica went thru on pks, besides why wouldn&#x27;t anyone want to watch US vs Mexico in the final?????

Debatable call

ricoo9 · Answer

This was worst reffing than the chile matches. 1: it wasn&#x27;t a penalty 2: who calls a penalty in 120 mins?

rf_dawg · Answer

Zamigo - that was a brutal ending. Oribe Peralta should've been off the field earlier for the red call tackle that only got him a yellow.

I can't blame the referee completely as he was starting to point for a goal kick when his assistant referee (whom happens to be American) waived for the foul. The head ref didn't have to go with the call but in a split second it's not always easy to go against an official who may have a better angle. Nonetheless, it was a bad call and it certainly looks tainted given the point in the game and the team involved.
