oh great! :rolleyes: Oscar Ruiz is going to be there. The guy that "conveniently" refs Brazil's games and hands them a gift penalty whenever they're in trouble.

btw: is the mexican ref that looks like dracula (black hair slicked back, showing off his pointy hairline) going to be there? That guy gives me the creeps.

[Fulham South]

Jorge Larrionda is the LAST name I wanted to see on this list. Italy-USA WC '06 game anyone?

[locoxriver]

So we will be seeing horrible Argentine, Colombian, and Uruguayan refs at the Copa America this year? Great.. FIFA/CONMEBOL, making great choices as always! :rolleyes:

First you need o chill out with the Fox News.

Second you need to click on Danilo's links.

Third ask Danilo to find you the video on the whole FPF email thing being fake. I see that didnt make the headlines or even an apology for accusing without confirmation.

That's good. I wasn't too concerned about the political issue (i.e. socialist vs capitalist), I was more concerned with the fact that it seemed like another Argentina 1978. You know: a president intervening, intimidating the peruvian team, convenient for the underdog home team to advance.

luckily it was false.

That's Marco Rodriguez. He's Mexico's #2 behind Archundia although I believe he worked some at the World Cup last year so he's fairly well thought of.

[Mosco]

Please I know it will probably happen don't let their be any Argie refs for any of Mexicos games during Copa America they seem to screw us over
