ok thos of you who watched the game know what went down and i dont care where the game is being played that little incident that occured with about 5 min whats absolutely unreal there is no way in hell that the number 9 player should have at least been given a yellow card at minimum and i think for what he did that he should have been given a red for the attempt he made to reagin control of the ball aftr knockewr keller down when he had clear possession and there was not even a foul and then when he knocked keller down the clip that he gave frasier either play alone could have gotten a red card but for what happened and neither even recieving a card and then 3 min later when he handled the ball with his hand and scored the exact same player i am abslutely irrate!!!!!!! and my question is how the hell does a mexican ref get the right to ref a game with the US playing our biggest rival !!!!!!! that is absolutely amazing and those of you who watched the match know what iu am talking about as for the game it was all US the 1st half in the second half guetemala did play a bit better but there play was not good enough to win but i dont like to critize the ref's becasue they cant see everything but this was an absolute joke !!!!!!!! and i am extrtemly irrate and we were screwed over 100% as for our play it was excellent in the 1st half and we play a great first half the second half was not a total diaster but it could have been alot better the razov goal was setup beautifully by reyna right before the end of the 1st half as for what happened i just dont know what else to say

GB DID YOU SEE THE GAME ??? IT WAS ABSOLUTELY UNCALLED FOR THE RUIZ SHOULD HAVE RECIEVED A RED CARD FOR HIS FOUL A DIRECT RED CARD NOT TO MENTION HE HAD ALREADY HAD A YELLOW BEFORE THE TWO OFFENCES THAT WOULD HAVE DRAWN A DIRECT RED CARD AND THEN HE IS THE ONE THAT SCORES THE GOAL AFTER PLAYING THE BALL OFF HIS HAND. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED TO ENGLAND YOU WOULD HAVE REACTED THE SAME WAY AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS LIKE TO BE SCREWED OVER HAND OF GOD RING A BELL ???

Don't forget that Sanneh was taken down from behind in the box in the first ten or fifteen minutes, and the ref was standing there waving the game to be played on. WTF!!! I told my wife the moment I heard we had refs from Mexico, that we would not get the calls in this game. There is a pattern in our games with Mexican refs. We still should have beaten them, but those blown calls were ridiculous.

Regis looked better than I have ever seen him, but I still think he was the weak link on the defense. Cobi got marked, or maybe I should say fouled, out of the game. Reyna, Lewis and Razov all looked real good. Overall the team looked good. Some more time playing together will continue that improvement.

i agree and disagree Regis played great but he was not tht weak link in the defense for the 1st time ever i have to say it was pope and to make things worse his replaceent vanney was even worse he got outjumped for that header that lead to the goal but regardless ruiz should have been thrown out prior i mean ruiz got a yellow card for a hand ball but when he plows through keller while has has the ball in his hands and then clips frasier with a blind tackle and doesnt get even a card !!!!!! we were screwed over

The US looks worse than I anticipated. First of all, Arena has to go. He has no international coaching experience at this level and doesn't belong coaching the US. Secondly, Agoos, Jones, Hejduk, and McBride have to go also. Jones was good in his day, but has looked weak the past year or so. Agoos just sucks and I never figured out how this hack made the team in the first place. Hejduk and McBride both blow, but the US keeps pushing these two. Also, not just because I am a Fire fan, but I think CJ Brown should play more and they should activate Josh Wolff. Believe me this kid is good and has potential.

The way the US are playing now they will be lucky to qualify.
