In all fairness, you could make a case that Onstad could have received a red card for his foul that lead to the penalty. He was the last man back and he brought the guy down. The rule book states that is a red card. I was shocked that he didn't get one. Donovan dived and got punished for it, no way that is red card worthy.

Canada did get screwed, I'm as upset as the next person, I was swearing like crazy, but I aint buying this conspiracy talk. Concacaf refs have been bad for years, its sad, but true.
