Concur. It's very embarassing for the Central American country to showcase the corruption of the regional referees.

US teams have suffered unbelievable calls in those Central American venues. I can't speak for other visiting teams, who probably have also suffered from the graft.

A bunch of us are going to have to show up and make sure the "referee" understands that there are two sides to pressure.

Yeah but CA pressure probably includes free booze, easy chicas and some cold hard $$$.

Bad calls might explain some narrow loses, but not 5-2 drubbings. I agree with you however, Concacaf has to take a hard look at its referees...

I dunno 'bout that. In the same game DC has had goals negated, people tossed and PKs awarded to opponents and still managed two goals "of honor".

Not to mention, the home fans turning on the home team when they were only up 1 in the 80th minute.
