Justice at his best.

 

Jimmy with an early yellow for a tactical foul

 

disaster start for jimmy...called for a pk in the 15th minute and sent off.

 

wow...

 

I didn't see the first foul - was cleaning up dinner - but that was really weak for a 2YC foul.

 

First yellow was completely warranted, no argument on that one. I wasn't looking towards the middle of the box when the second foul happened, I need to see it again.

 

The first was rather weak too. It was shoving but the guy let himself fall. What was the reasoning for the second call?

 

shirt tug according to US Soccer.

First one was more for tactical reasons for the foul, Jimmy did it to stop the fast break.

 

that could have easily been called a pk there.

 

Holy CHRIST!

I suppose we're even, karma-wise, now, but I'd rather have Jimmy on the field..

 

Shirt tug? WTF?

I wouldn't have called it a foul in the first place is what I was meaning.

 

Do not like how Archundia is calling this game.

Don't like how the US is playing, either, but the officiating is less than top-shelf.

 

With Conrad off, Espinoza is starting to get a lot of space on the US left side, he's looked pretty good.

 

He's definitely been lacking consistency in his calls so far.

But the US is it's own enemy right now.

 

I just discovered Jimmy's problem: Bornstein is wearing #12.

 

Is it sad that Rogondino is making me miss Bretos to a point???

 

and that was coming.

 

that second goal is on Marshall completely, Bornstein even pointed him out to Marshall and he doesn't get in front of him.

 

Sooooo glad this isn't our regular crew. Also, is there anywhere in the US where we can actually get a homefield advantage?

 

Just saw the replay of Conrad's foul. Still not buying it as a 2YC-worthy foul, but it was pretty careless.

 

Depends on who we're playing, Mexico and Honduras, it's unlikely.

 

Maybe it's just that we rarely play anyone else. lol

 

Great combination and goal from Espinoza!

 

Grand Forks, North Dakota.

 

and Mexicans and Hondurans would still travel for the game.
