He is best known for his embarrassing dive during the September 6, 2013 World Cup qualifying match between the United States and Costa Rica.

Concacaf refs make up rules as they go. Let's just say for the sake of arguments Besler did kick him, that wouldn't be a yellow, it would be a red. The ref didn't see anything happen, so he had no right to issue anyone a card (even for diving). Instead this happened:

"I didn't see the challenge, and have no idea what happened, but I'm going to give a yellow card to the defender anyways"

I love soccer but this is the crap that needs to get fixed. At the very least there needs to be a challenge system to rescind cards like this.

Terribly disappointing result. And Klinsmann called it:
"I don't doubt that Marco Antonio Rodriguez is a great referee," Klinsmann said. "But at the same time, there is something I can't get out of my head. I have eight players with a yellow card, and four days later we face Mexico. Truthfully, I don't like this."

A few days late, but I'm assuming you guys don't know that it was the linesman that called that foul. I thought the Mexican official did a great job.

Tobias · « **Reply #1436 on:** September 10, 2013, 08:10:52 PM »

I've only read things and not really watched Mexico first-hand in a bit. they are shockingly bad, and I wasn't expecting much.

Yeah a Mexican linesmen and a Mexican ref, you know who actually issued the card, since that is what refs do. It was a trash card that no competent ref should have imagined taking out of his pocket.

Hopefully Panama can somehow manage a draw at Mexico. That match is huge between the two of them.

I would love to see Mexico sit at home during the World Cup.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #1446 on:** September 10, 2013, 10:09:59 PM »

Mexico is a loss to Panama away from not even going to New Zealand, stunning.

ednksu · « **Reply #1447 on:** September 10, 2013, 10:28:17 PM »

I wonder if a gold medal team from the Olympics has ever failed to enter the proceeding world cup.

scottwildcat · « **Reply #1448 on:** September 10, 2013, 10:34:05 PM »

does the USA go for top qualifier from CONCACAF on final match day @ Panama, if losing would mean Mexico stays home and doesn't even get a shot at NZ? If i were JuKl I would toss out any random kid (including some of these 12 yo wonder kids playing is Spain England and Germany right now) I ever wanted to cap into that team and let the chips fall where they might.

I'm thinking of wrecking threads everywhere until this shit gets fixed or I get banned, should I?
