1-1 draw with the ref getting pelted after the game leaving the pitch.

Bet settled.

Nice....it looks like quite a few people bet on Mexico.


Why was the ref getting pelted? Did he back the draw in the TTP Bookie section?

Mexico didn't play very well by all accounts (it is their B team afterall).

The ref seemed to like throwing 2 people out at a time. I saw the first incident - seemed harsh punishment...

Both teams ended the first half with 10 men. Dos Santos stood up angered after being held up and after pushing and shoving, Luis Miguel Noriega of Mexico and Armando Gun of Panama were sent off.

Then in the 79th minute, Mexico’s manager, Aguirre, and Panama’s Ricardo Phillips were both sent off. Phillips went off the field after the ball, and Aguirre raised his foot as the player arrived. After pushing and shoving, Salvadoran referee Joel Aguilar showed both a red card. However, Phillips refused to leave the field delaying play for 12 minutes.

Fast-forward to about the 3:10 mark to see the second incident:



Hard to really tell WTF the Mexican coach was trying to do.

Paul Ward was the 4th Official in this match. I guess Wardo's Spanish skills were put into full use trying to difuse this.

Wasn't Paul the main official in one of the first games? I thought TV only added 10 pounds?

I was surprised they continued to play after Perez(?) got nailed by something from the stands
