To the top :The refering in Concacaf

[Sir X]

I am glad concacaf refering is under the microscope ,thanks to the 1st class screw up,bias,prejudice,robbery by American referee Mark Geiger.


Eat your heart out Lalas,smaller nations,poorer nations have beared the brunt of these screw ups.

[T.K.]

I'm sure Mark Geiger is very proud of you.

[Sir X]

So is panama and the rest of the smaller,broke ass nations.

By your logic they should be yes. lol.

But in all seriousness I don't want to hijack the thread. To be frank I don't think anything will be done with the refereeing because this tournament requires the US and Mexico to be in the final for it to make concacaf money. Once JA eliminated the US they had to have Mex in the final to make it worthwhile. Mark Geiger did exactly what he was suppose to do. Make sure that there was no way in hell Mexico would lose. Against Costa Rica the american linesman did the same. Can you imagine if Jamaica and the US had played second and Mexico had lost to Panama in the earlier game? You would have seen a few fraud penalties go against Jamaica so fast. I predict that the referee for the final on sunday will screw over Jamaica early in the match so as not to have the scenes that played out in the semi's and quarter-finals repeat themselves. If he does it early enough then maybe there won't be as much of a reaction and people will chalk it up to bad refereeing rather than outright corruption. Seriously the last two Mexico games have really soured me on football itself. At least curling is an honest sport.

[Sir X]

So by your logic , MEX should win the GOld cup because it will generate more revenue in a confed playoff ?

To be honest I would not doubt it , but the time has arrived where smaller, broke nations are going to vociferously protesting, THANK GOD FOR PANAMA, as I have always said protest before , during and after, we can all learn something from Panama, and judging by white Jeezas he does protest.Put the light on it.

No Mexico should win the Gold Cup because they are better on paper. But if we stay competitive in the match I fully expect us to get "Geigered" at some point. God forbid we go up a goal. That will guarantee us going to 10 men.

As for Panama....boy X I have a strong feeling that the penalties that Concacaf will hand to them will be severe. Not sure how worth it all of the histrionics will be in the end no matter how justified their feelings.

[Sir X]

Penalties become irrelevant at some point doing the victimization process.History will be kind to panama, and this cant go on like this forever, the Gold Cup will be looked at as a joke, and the USA and MEX cant afford this.

[Assasin]

My friend told me when he was at St. Johns they had stop using the same ref in the Mexico game as he made some poor decisions in games. That was maybe 10 years ago but it seems he is only doing it on a higher level now.

Agreed history will be kind but their football program could be destroyed in the process if concacaf decides that protecting their money is more important than having an honest competition. There is a reason they don't have a draw for the Gold Cup.

LOL...you should read the MLS message boards whenever he does games in the league.

Finally a good post from a DC UNITED FANatic
TK, now that the puss is out of the bag on the CONCACAF refs, it will be inneresting to see Sunday's game.

I wonder what would happen if the Boyz do some simulations in the penalty box an on the field? Naw, nothing better than a team that plays an honorable game.

I've asked this before. ..did not get an answer. Again, did Jamaica provide a referee for the Gold Cup games.??

[Bruce]

If Mexico isn't in the finals, the TV ratings and ticket sales go down the crapper.

[Jangle]

As X said, thank God for Panama because they did Jamaica a huge favor. If it were us that they robbed the penalty, we would have probably buss two shots. Thank God for White Jeezas because if it were a local coach in charge of the Jamaican team , that would be a guaranteed on-field fight. Thank God for the Snow Ballas with their watered down bloodlines. If the team was made up of local players, fly high, fly low, they would have been able to procure couple rock stones or find a cutlass or big stick fi claaat two MexTicans 'cross dem head.
