What was with the end of that match? Calling the game in the middle of a breakaway? Next to just before a PK, that is the most absurd time a ref could possibly call a game in soccer.

Last evening in Montreal at Saputo Stadium Canada lost to Honduras and almost insured that Canada will now miss its Seventh straight World Cup tallying up 28 years since Canada has appeared in a World Cup.(Mexico 86 being the last)This news is stark in contrast to the reality that Concacaf is one of the easiest federations to gain access to the Worlds most important sporting event.
