Guest Jeffery S. Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I wrote this to Jamie Treker after a piece on the US-Panama quarter finals, sent on Tue, 19 Jun 2007 07:04:32 -0400 (EDT): Hi Jamie Thanks for the piece on the US's problems with Panama. As a Canadian fan I think the US has to be favourite. But I am also sure Canada will score. One more thing: I'm a bit worried about the amount of diving and play acting coming from the US, it really hurts me to have to say it. Frankly, I am worried about getting fair reffing considering the commercial interest in seeing a US-Mex final. ONE ERROR in your latest: it is, of course, LOS CANALEROS, and not as you have put it, "calaneros". For obvious reasons related to a certain canal. All the best ----------- He wrote back saying that he had not seen any diving and play acting on the part of the referees, for some reason I deleted his answer so don't have the exact words. Do I look like a friggin' prophet or what? No great credit due though, as it was something you knew could happen the way things were going and the way things have gone in the past.

I think the disallowed goal made people forget that Canada was disappointing for the first 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, yet the game was a story of two halves. Canada's comeback and the American lack of finishing took over in the 2nd. And if Bocanegra received a red and the U.S. was down a man in the first half, would the outcome be the same? Moot point.[xx(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be that we don't agree with the view that Canada was disappointing for the first 45 minutes. Maybe the first 20 minutes of the second half, but that's about it....
