The red card was a load of sheet, and it cost us a chance to win the game. We were playing toe to toe with them the entire first half, and all 3 goals can be traced to Rico's red card: The first two shots were taken from about the same spot, where Clark would be playing a destroyer role, and the third was against an obviously gassed squad who was forced to push numbers forward playing with 3 defenders. The worst part about that red is that Clark was only in the bad position he was in BECAUSE HE GOT FOULED. Camoranesi I think it was.
And if Rico's foul was a red, what the flying hell did that ref think AN ELBOW TO THE FACE was? A friggin' yellow! Its ridiculous. Don't even get me started on the defender CATAPULTING off Donovan in the box.
Yes we flubbed two great chances in the first half. The guys that had the opportunity were 19 and 21 and have already learned from that. But even in spite of ourselves, in spite of the ref, we were in a position to get a point from this game- but ultimately the ref ruined any chance we had at winning this game, and it wasn't a snowball's chance in hell by any means.
