Weird to say that 15 minutes of stoppage time seemed short....but was all of that basically because panama called bullshit on the penalty call? Or was there more, like threatening to leave the field?

Serbia's probably due for another closed door match. It's been what, almost two years since the last one?
I think Croatia plays more matches in empty stadiums than in front of fans.Titans Bastard said:
Remarkably, this is nowhere near the most embarrassing game in global soccer this year.

This is one time I'm glad I don't have Fox Sports 2. That whole incident was 100 times better listening to the Unimas announcers, even if I only understood about 20% of it.

Speaking of River, they beat Paraguayan club Guarani on aggregate yesterday to advance to the Copa Libertadores finals against Mexico's Tigres.
Have to assume there was a goal coming at some point regardless but that was a really dumb challenge with a man at least vaguely in position to defend that.
Nothing like a legit penalty to win a game that is only still being played due to a terrible penalty call which wouldn't have even been an issue if the original terrible penalty call in the previous game hadn't happened.
Apparently after the PK goal Adolfo Machado starting collecting a bunch of balls from a ballgirl and started booting them as far as he could into the stands.
It wasn't a great angle on the replay. If he was off it was extremely marginal, no problem with that not being called.Bosoxen said:
You're right about the arm. If you can't play the ball with it, it can't make you offside.
If Arroyo hadn't plowed into Ochoa there, it would have been funny if Mexico had been called for a back pass.
Tonight I am yelling at soccer.

Every 50-50 decision has gone Mexico's way...and a couple 30-70 one's as well. #GoldCup2015

This close to calling for the abolition of international soccer.

If there were any justice of course Jamaica would win but I'm sure Mexico will continue to have the lucky stick shoved up its ass. Bailed out to an outrageous degree in the last two CONCACAF events.
Just watched the highlights on sportscenter for the cherry on top. Two sharknado references, skipped the Panama goal, a big arrow pointing to the defender's arm to explain why the handball was the right call, and "Andres Guerrero" scored the penalty.
They also made about 8 Ric Flair references while showing Jamaica's coach during the US highlights.Turrable said:
I only was able to watch extra time, but have seen the replay of the penalty.
At the end of the day, you have to have some luck smile on you to win any tournament, in any sport. Usually it's a bounce here or a call there...
Mexico has been lucky indeed.

Wasn't that due in part to the fact that the USSF was itching to hire JK before he took a job somewhere else?Titans Bastard said:
