bordertown Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Did not watch the game, but what I saw in the highlights - the game should have been postphoned in fairness to the importance of the game. While the national teams may or may not have wanted to play, the referee should have called the match. It appeared the players were being put at a high risk of injury.

Hhs4sho Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Ref stopped the game in the second half and players from both teams wanted to continue. Costa rica lost and now want to cry about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futfan Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Maybe they need some referees from Texarkana. Those guys are out there in the cold, rain, sleet, or snow for us when we need them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bordertown Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Luckily high school administrators have more sense than putting kids on the road in such weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawemoff Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Costa Rica filed for a rematch, but did not follow FIFA regulations and was denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new2tex Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 wahhh.....so it was snowing a little....real men play a real sport IN THE SNOW every REAL football season..... :P Online I watch matches in Germany, The Netherlands, France, Italy,, etc. all the time played in the snow by some of these guys or guys just like them...professional soccer players. I don't think you can blame this on the ref. This was not a match of high school or college kids, but of professionals who do this for a living. He (the ref) deferred to their professional experience and wishes to continue. Hhs4sho is right...Costa Rica lost and the coach is crying about it. Another reason not to postpone was trying to reschedule a date where some of these guys didn't have conflicts with their club teams around the world. The W.C. qualifiers are scheduled months, if not years in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
