Well I haven't seen any threads since the cup started so I thaught i'd make one now that the semfinals are on.
I'm from Guatemala and as usual i was not expecting mch from my country and indeed they got eliminated in the quarted finals by losing to Canada 0-3..
I just finished watching the biggest robbery in the cup so far as the U.S. beat Canada 2-1.. The U.S. struck first to put the game 1-0.. then, when Canada was close to tying, a gringo takes a dive inside the area to make Mexican referee call a penalty.. Donovan makes the game 2-0.. in the second half, Canada makes every effort to socre and they finally do 20 minutes from the end..
Canada keeps looking for the ties, and in the final minute, they score a clean goal that starts from a Canadian shooting towards the left side, but U.S. defender heads the ball to the other direction and lands in the feet of Canadian striker Hutchinson who ties the game.. however, Mexican referee Archundia apparently received a nice check from the U.S. before the game because he makes up an offside position and voinds the goal and ends the game giving the U.S. the victory and pass to the final..
I'm not Canadian in any way but this was a complete robbery and made me very angry to see a referee screw the team like that.. I have no respect for the U.S. team and the referee at this point as the U.S. also played a very dirty game and was it not for the ref, they probably would have been eliminated..
I don't know how many people here even watch the Copa Oro or know what i'm talking about but i just had to let it out..

of a goal.You can clearly see it, none of the Canadians players were offside.the ball didn't even go the player that was supposedly offside , the ball got deflected by US player and pickup by different canuck player.
