wow, some crap calls by the ref in that one. the free kick goal for the caps was not a foul, complete dive. harbar got the card before, it was obvious there was no foul as he just ran into the guy. then in extra time the caps guy pushes down the timbers player outside the 18 and no foul? wtf man.

the suzuki handball in the box? uhhh that was a hand ball on the caps player you dumbass ref. terrible mis call.
