Not sure which was worse: the Salvadoran diving or the clown with the whistle. I mean, CONCACAF whistlemen set a pretty miserable standard, but that guy couldn't even have reached that low bar with a trampoline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198732413882406269.post-24264135478188101432011-06-21T07:09:36.954-04:002011-06-21T07:09:36.954-04:00We were there for the first half and deduced, corr...We were there for the first half and deduced, correctly it appears, that the second half was no place for two agnostic Americans in red shirts in the midst of a sea of blue in 308--particularly when one of them is given to making divesign after each gruesome flop.

He's addressed the heart with that big effort on Sunday. Still not convinced about the head, but I'll grudgingly admit that he deserves to start...until another one of those silly decisions sways me back the other way.<br /><br />Did you stay for ES v.
