Chicken Sniffer 3rd Class
If you aren't watching it for some reason, it's a cracking game.
It's the second semi-final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, being held in Atlanta. Earlier in the day, the Jamaicans upset the home team to reach their first final (and destroy the TV ratings for the final in the process). Now the American ref in the 2nd semi seems to be taking his anger out on Panama. He sent off Luis Tejada after 24 minutes, with a soft straight red. After 59 minutes, Panama still took the lead and were playing out of their skins. The Mexican fans were throwing objects at the Panamanian players. Then with 90 seconds left, a Panama central defender, Torres (who we should sign, by the way) fell over as he tried an overhead clearance in the box. His arm brushed the ball and the ref gave a penalty. After 11 minutes of resulting mayhem, the penalty was finally taken and scored. The final whistle finally went after about 105 minutes. Now we're off to extra time. Should be excellent.
