US was dominated for much of the match. Even the US commentators on GOL TV thought the 2-0 lead was well against the run of play.

Should have been a red card on the first half. Donovan is a disgrace with his diving. You know it's bad when the CAN players do the hand motion for diving after every whistle. Amazing how a trip or push from a Canadian player can cause an American to roll over for three complete revolutions.

And the linesman from Suriname really blew the off-side call at the end of the game. CAN outplayed the US and deserved better. US is 16th in FIFA rankings?

If you're looking for referee conspiracies to ensure a U.S.-Mexico final, CONCACAF is providing its share of evidence . . . Canada's last-minute equalizer was only the latest pebble on a pile of awful Gold Cup calls against teams not named the U.S. or Mexico. . . At the very least, a Mexican referee shouldn't be working a game in which the winner likely will meet Mexico in the final
