I haven't seen such an obviously bad call in International Soccer since the Hand of God, but I think its reasonably safe to say, that this Ref will spend the rest of his career reffing MLS, because his international days are done. He is tainted goods now.

Canada should be proud of coming back in the Second half as well as they did, seeing as how they were somewhat outplayed for the majority of the game. But outplayed doesnt mean anything if they arent outscored, and in this match they werent and shouldnt have been. I hope Mexico wins the whole thing, and the States should too. No one should win a tournament when they got to the Final riding a referee.

PS. Congrats Sowa, I guess I owe that $10.

It wasn't the ref - it was the linesman that blew the call, right?
