The good: We have a great penalty taker in Guardado.
The bad: #RoboAPanamá

Bro just watch it. Stop judging with a clouded mind. He throws himself over the ball on purpose to keep it from being played. If it weren't a penalty it would've have to been an indirect free kick, but then what's the point when the ball was 7 feet from the goal?
Yup.

most football loses are blamed on the refs.
He didn't even touch the ball with his hand, it was NO PENALTY whatsoever, EVEN IF HE WERE TO TOUCH THE BALL IN THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES the normal, usual, common decision would be to NOT CALL A PENALTY.
This is fucking disgusting, and one of the lowest CONCACAF moments we have witnessed.
It is, if the offside isn't called.

I almost want the US to lose the 3rd place match.
And I definitely want Mexico to lose the final.

Every ref is shit even the world class refs can make bad calls, their eyes can't see from every angle on the pitch.

I have never seen a match where it was more obvious, though. Maybe Spain vs South Korea in 2002.

in case anyone goes "But but the match earlier the US lost, it wasn't rigged!". The ref was Costa Rican, I'm sure he would've had to be at gunpoint to fall to CONCACAF bullshit.

It wasn't a penalty, lol. Please educate me then, why do you think it was a penalty?
edit: nvm, i get it, I can only think of once El Salvador forfeit a match mid game against Costa Rica for a UNCAF Cup, and of course Snow Bowl: US vs Costa Rica match.

Mexico goes to the final with 3 penalties.

It's blatantly obvious that CONCACAF wants USA vs Mexico. If they can't get it during the Gold Cup, they'll get it for the confederations cup playoff match.

Forget the handball, the clear retention of the ball in the small box is enough for a penalty.
Wont happen. Mexico will get at least two PKs.
Sorry, my mistake, agree with you it was a penalty, lol. Made a mistake while typing.
The "You must be young" was a joke because you said it was "one of the lowest CONCACAF moments we have witnessed", and I think we have seen several as bad as this, I think.

Italy vs South Korea was the worst.

you dont have to touch the ball in box to get a penalty, he got ragdoll'd in there. if the ref let play go on he's a bad ref, if he calls a penalty hes an evn worse ref.

Mexico plays Panama tomorrow in the Pan American football semifinals, by the way. I hope the kids don't get poisoned by what happened today.

This is the worst team we had in years, functionally speaking...
It's fucking shameless what's happening right now, but oh well
Full stadium Saturday for USA vs Mexico and a meh stadium for Jamaica vs Panama or full stadium Saturday for USA vs Panama and full stadium on Sunday for Mexico vs Jamaica

The replay on univision was enough to convince me that it would never be a PK call. Even if the ball did hit his arm, it would be extremely harsh. Just because your arm touches the ball doesn't automatically qualify it as a penalty, especially when falling.

it's sad, but i fully expect Jamaica to be winning 3-0 at minute 80 and Mexico "mysteriously" gets 3 penalties in a row.
It is ridiculous to even consider such a play as a retention attempt, he fell on the ball due inertia for fuck sake, what do you want from the poor guy, to simply disappear?
It was a bad call, from any point of view, not to mention a foul favoring Panama wasn't sanctioned just before this very play.
Do you guys have ever played soccer/football?

Damn, he got checked.
He was clearly fouled before anyways, when he tried to clear the ball and was dragged down.

not that one lol
Lmao, you can clearly see himself throw himself back. Say what you want about the game against Costa Rica because that wasn't a penalty, but this was.
