USA 2 Canada 1: A perfect example of getting hosed. After a lousy 75 minutes by Canada, Leicester City player Iain Hume scored a goal to make it 2-1. In the 94th minute, Canada appeared to have tied the game, but was called offside. The problem with that is (I'll have the video up tomorrow), you can't have an offside call if the ball hits the opposing team, which was what happened. US defender Oguchi Onyewu had the ball hit his head, which landed conveniently to Canadian forward Atiba Hutchinson, who put it past 64 year old Kasey Keller to appear to make it 2-2. The flag was raised, the Canadians are angry, game over. The worst part about it, was that even if Onyewu didn't touch it, Hutchinson was onside anyway. Oh sorry, the worst part about it was when Fox Soccer Channel announcer, and human megaphone Max Bretos, said "hold on, it might be overturned". How?
It's a good thing that Canada is hosting the 2009 Gold Cup.
Anyway, Mr. Overrated himself Landon Donovan scored another penalty kick, and Frankie Heyduk scored for the US. Donovan still hasn't scored in free play, and Frankie gets his 1st goal in 7 years.
