On the flip side, what a win for Haiti. I was in downtown Waltham during the game and it was a party.Huge choke job from Canada tonight.

Ya. ouch. If that is the game really harsh.Panama the victim of a brutal call for a PK. Jamaica hit a long ball into the attacking box, Jamaican attacker wins the header, but it was heading towards the sideline.
Panamanian defender had his arms up in the natural motion of leaping for the header, and it caught him on the wrist. Ref called it immediately, but it just felt wrong.
OK that makes some sense, but an 8:30pm EST start time for a Sunday was also not optimal.Brazil - Argentina at 8:30 and Mexico is not on eastern standard time.
No surprise there. El Tri is the most popular soccer team in the United States.Interesting (or maybe not) that Mexico is just murdering USA at the gate.

BingoI've seen this movie enough times to know that Mexico will somehow stumble into a win here, but it's still rather intriguing.
I'm still annoyed at Mexico for blowing it in the semis to Panama 2 years ago. I went to the final and not only did I want US-Mexico, I bought my tickets before the semis. Could have gotten them much cheaper if I'd waited.Someone told the ref before the start of extra time that it was veeeery important for Mexico to be in the final.

Have we asked @jose melendez whether he has any soccer talent lately? I feel like we're not focusing on this market inefficiency.Haitian-Japanese-American supersub Zachary Herivaux!
