Mexico v Trinidad & Tobago (4 replies)

After the completely bizarre match between USA and Mexico (fights, crowd trouble, stuff thrown on pitch etc) i thought it'd be interesting to see what happened in Mexico's next match ... which was last night ... first match in the Gold Cup

Mexico were massively odds-on (1/9 in places)

Final result 0-0 ... which basically consisted of Mexico v the T&T Goalkeeper

Mexico had about 85% of possession and over 30 shots

Full of incident again




Ref took the players into the centre circle twice and temporarily suspended the match due to racist and homophobic chanting by the Mexican fans




Ref turned down a string of penalties for Mexico without even consulting VAR and Mexico had a goals disallowed in the final minutes for offside that was never offside (again this was purely on the linesman's flag and VAR not consulted)

Worst incident was one of the Mexican players being completely knocked unconscious with an obvious head and face injury injury (following a nasty collision with the keeper )with the ref completely ignoring him and letting play continue whilst he lay there bleeding. When play stopped he booked a Mexican player for having complained that the match should have been stopped. Player stretchered off and think he's in hospital now
