I don't think yours was flagged. There was a big purge, 2 of my posts were deleted too. I think it was all about Milwaukee Best Lite and his schtick.

Makes sense, I didn't get back on here until late today' so I guess I missed the fun.
Not to be overly blunt, but I don't think anyone cared about your post that muchHowdyTexasAggies said:fig96 said:

He was up late drinking talking to himself and using the Mexican bad word.
His little tirade was really out of line.

Likely, but the forum is more fun with more posters that actually care about soccer, yet people get chastised and run off, chided by arrogant experts. Pretty snooty attitude
Did someone here try to run you off at some point because something you posted?
Can we be elitist here? I'm sure it happens, but I think most regulars try to avoid it and encourage discussions. Recently we've come down on folks for name-callling and being hateful, but I don't know that anyone has been dismissed or mistreated because of a lack of knowledge about the game. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

if there's one thing I've learned here, it's that everyone has a referee's knowledge of the laws.jeffk said:

Okay, the offside/offsides thing was pretty pedantic.

but he got the ball!!!
I stand by my statement that I could move to Grenada and be the best ref in the nation and make it to a World Cup.
You're getting overly offended here. My point is that no one was especially bothered by you posting it.HowdyTexasAggies said:Likely, but the forum is more fun with more posters that actually care about soccer, yet people get chastised and run off, chided by arrogant experts.

And while I disagree with your take, it's good to know that at least one person feels that way so we can be aware of it.
But generally speaking, don't be an ass and posters here are more than happy to discuss something they disagree with, I've done it many times. Come in calling people idiots and proclaiming you know better and the response likely won't be great.

The CONCACAF pool is in direct contrast to the one for UEFA or CONMEBOL. The guys in UEFA are all working games in domestic leagues and you have at least 6 big ones. Plus Nations league, UCL, EL. It's a huge pool. And they still whittle it down to roughly 20 on the Elite list for the UCL and Euros. CONMEBOL has the big SA leagues plus the big Copa. That's not as deep as Europe but still big.
The reality is other than MLS or LigaMX the CONCACAF guys just have no competitive leagues of merit. The poor guy from Grenada? He's probably doing games at the level of a college D3 or NAIA. He had no chance the other night. The speed of the game, the level of foul, the abilities of the players. All of it was light years above what he's used to. He had no chance.
The first DOGSO is probably something he doesn't call in his games because in his league that distance isn't an OGSO. The second you could see it in his eyes. He blew the whistle because he saw the foul and then went "oh **** what have I done? It's a red card and I can't do that." So he took forever and got input from everyone in the stadium and bailed out. The missed foul on Arriola late in the half he either never saw or thought it was in the area and after miss 1 and 2 he couldn't bring himself to a PK for that.
He was constantly out of position to see fouls and got in the way several times. That's just not being used to the level and skill of the players. His games he's not in the way because the players aren't that good.
I felt for him. He was in the deep end of the pool.

What goes into selecting the crews for CONCACAF matches? Are they at some level trying to make sure each member nation gets a crew into a game each cycle?
when do we get a crew from St. Kitts or Aruba?
why don't they make a rule that all WCQ Octagaonal matches be held in neutral countries not in the EIGHT?
- Turks & Caicos
- Saint Lucia
- Aruba
- Bahamas
- Barbados
- British VI
- Caymen Islands
- US VI

Agreed. Going from 1 level to a higher level it's like the game is in fast fast forward.

However this doesn't mean that we do not disagree with him on occasion.

They are all FIFA level officials. So the only requirement is that they have that badge. Not every nation has someone on that list but if they do yes CONCACAF is going to try and work people in. The Grenada guy did one Gold Cup game I think. It didn't go well.
ETA it's complicated and very political. Remember that in the eyes of CONCACAF everyone is equal and it's all about spreading money and prestige.
The FIFA badge is nation dependent. The National federations make their own nominations and you only get so many. As long as they can pass the fitness test they can nominate who they want.
USSF is stupid. Last I looked they didn't fill their nomination list. A couple of years ago they only had 6 of 10 spots filled on the mens side. That's criminal. You can't get people trained and ready if they aren't on the list to start with.

Has anyone ever tried to explain why USSF doesn't fill all ten spots?

Not that I know. Maybe Jessexy would know.
Panama fans are saying mean things too.
Panama set to play its next home WCQ (v. El Salvador) behind closed doors after homophobic chants were heard in September matches v. Costa Rica & Mexico.

I should have just let him continue jabbering to himself but calling that a bad PK was just too much.

Next time he gets on a roll we should just let him talk to himself all night.
It was funny when the replay of the call was linked, and you watch the Mexican player just get his leg get completely taken out.The Pilot said:Kevin the 3-legged dog said:PatAg said:He was going pretty wildMathguy64 said:
