Huh. Celtic 2-3 Rangers. And Johnston was absolutely terrible in that match. Lots of international players in the SPL. Fenerbache scrubs too?
I thought the guardian article was decent, but he comes across as insufferable in just about every other interview.
On topic, I don’t know why referees get so intimidated by Mexico. 50/50 balls, no issue. But the running commentary from non captains to the referee would not be tolerated elsewhere. I find Mexico as a team to be incredibly disrespectful and I hope Panama beats them. The players get away with stuff that was appalling.
Johnston had possession at the throw in…and the throw was terrible. Schoolboy stuff. It cost Canada the goal, but it shouldn’t have cost the match. Canada must find a way to score in these sorts of matches.
Having said that, there were periods where Canada had lots of the football, and probably should have had a goal or two. By the laws of the game, that was a penalty. I don’t understand why it wasn’t given by VAR.
Game v USA will be good!
