Haiti 3-2 was frustrating in a different way; it was more the team itself than the ref.

Other bad ones that I recall being just as emotionally frustrating were Canada vs Martinique at the start of the 2013 Gold Cup and friendlies against Australia in 2013 and against Azerbaijan in 2016.

Honduras in Montreal

Honduras in Montreal 

I started to follow the team somewhat casually in Sept 2010 and very seriously in June 2011....sooooo I have no memory of that one!

We actually won the Montreal Honduras match in Sept 2010!

Bermuda/Montserrat match cancelled. Montserrat apparently withdrew from today's game 5 days ago? Interesting. They just defeated Bermuda 2 days ago in the Dominican Republic. Montserrat had played all 3 of their Nations League matches in the Dominican Republic and this involved travelling to Bermuda. Maybe it was financial and they preemptively cancelled?

Jamaica v Mexico is currently 1-1 early in the 2nd half.

You can watch it on Concacaf YouTube. 

El Salvador v USA is coming up at 10pm ET

Looks like torrential rain for US vs ES too..but the field doesn't look as bad..lets see how the US fairs in these conditions..

I’m surprised people think just because Canada has a game in hand, that winning the group is a lock.  There will be alot of players on yellows in Curacao and Honduras may come to Canada without alot to play for and a better squad.

Nothing is ever a lock, but if we can't get 4 points away against Curacao and Home against Honduras, it would be very disappointing.

The field towards the end of Jamaica-Mexico looked pretty tore up as well

Canada must be jealous of this pitch watching this game this far

[mrstepp817]

El Salvador takes 1-0 lead....

[pod818]

hope the US lose just so I can watch them blame the field

[Gian-Luca]

The dirty prick who should have been sent off 3 times against Canada for the fouls on Tajon with the goal that Horvath completely missed 

[mrstepp817]

US trying to play soccer and pass through things instead of hoofing it forward and playing bully ball...can't play a beautiful game in those conditions

[mrstepp817]

Alexi Lalas basically said the US shouldn't be entitled...."suck it up buttercup" was the quote lol 

[gigi riva]

The USA seems to be a different team on the road

The amount of Americans comments I seen on Reddit in regard to our players….

I too am watching in hope that they lose. 

[Shway]

I’ll take a muddy pitch over a water logged one 10x out of 10.

[Strait Red]

Arriola gets a straight red for the US

Edited June 15, 2022 by Strait Red

[Gian-Luca]

A straight red to Paul Arriola who just came on to the field moments before

[pod818]

red card to Arriola, US down to 10 men..time wasting starting..terrible pitch..trifecta of CONCACAFED

[frmr]

Is this the same ref as our game?

[SpecialK]

I’m sorry, I understand countries in Central America and the Caribbean are pretty poor. But these pitches are terrible and CONCACAF and fifa needs to do something about it. If it’s horrible weather the games should be rescheduled at least. CONCACAF should have people reviewing the stadiums and fields. When are we gonna get serious about this. The Canada game should have not been played . This US game muddy and holes everywhere. The fields in the Caribbean are just as bad. Even in Montreal if they played in the Big O on that hard horrible old turf that should be banned, that should be stopped. 

[Shway]

Yes lol. Reckless unnecessary tackle.

Let the time wasting begin.

I don't think so, he's far to gentle..no shoving of any US players

[pod818]
