I can't believe the red card got rescinded on the Monterrey player (per The Oregonian). He clearly sucker punched Diego in the face with his elbow away from the play as he jogged past. Diego immediately took exception and McGraw and Asprilla came to his defense. I thought that player would be out of the tournament after review with a suspension for violent conduct. I also thought Asprilla would be served a red for coming off the bench.
What is going on with Mosquera? Everybody complains about Bravo, but Mosquera's game has gone walk about. Just terrible on both ends of the field. He seemed to be the only Timber not playing hard last night. Meanwhile the commentators keep raving about how special he is. We're not getting anything from him on offense and he keeps falling asleep on D. We were really lucky to not give up another goal with him falling asleep on his mark who somehow skied the shot straight up in the air.
