Absolute disgrace from the Mexican Referee....you'd think he sees enough diving in Mexican leagues to have some expereince making calls.
1) 8 Mins left, ref calls a penalty, when the Honduran player slips of the crappy Commenwealth turf, not tackled.
2)2 mins later, Hoduran player goes down in his own box, not touched, and ref blows it down as ball goes in for Canada.
Playing as many years of soccer as I have, its plain and clear that central and south american referees will stick by thier cetnral/south american "friends"...and the central and south american players know exactly how to milk that relationship.
Canada will have a very very tough road to the WC with only 1 point out of 2 games at home. This was a big loss of 3 points that the Mexaicn ref stole from Canada.
