Message: [QUOTE="HuskyGooner124, post: 4258834, member: 2076"] How in the world did Edson Álvarez manage to play the full 90? The ref went from being happy to handing out yellows for anything to forgetting where his cards were. Quite infuriating. Ref also seemed quite inconsistent with regards to how much contact he would allow. Sometimes allowing lots of physical play and others whistling for the slightest contact. Though, I will give him credit for the non-penalty calls, and particularly giving that horrible dive a yellow. Striker situation was very disappointing, felt like we were playing with 10 men for long stretches. Though I think the Mexican defenders were allowed to be a lot more physical with our guys than we were with Jimenez. Finally, what was up with the pitch? It seemed pretty terrible and both teams kept losing their footing. [/QUOTE]
