All referees should come from the top European leagues. People actually somehow got on me for that yesterday. Exceptions should be made for exceptional officials from elsewhere, but this is a sham. Remember that Malian referee for USA-Slovenia, anyone?

Cameroon player deflected that ball....tough to see for the side ref though

But not offside.. that's 2 goals incorrectly overturned this half

That second offsides was maybe the worst call I've ever seen.

Kind of crazy Mexico could (should?) be up 3-0 right now. Marquez's stolen header could end up haunting them worse than the disallowed goals.

I'll side with the ref, that 2nd Dos Santos goal was offsides. Barely, but offside nonetheless.

Nah, I remember some Women World Cup where the ref didn't see how a player held the ball in her hands for like 5 seconds :lol:

if the ball was deflected by a Mexican player, he would have been, but it was deflected by Cameroon.

Def not offside

If a Mexican player had touched the ball first it would've been...but it was a Cameroonian
Tough to see for the ref from that angle though,I only saw it when they used the replay from the opposite angle

Wasn't off...it came off a Cameroon defender.

Wow, no card? Even I thought that should've been a card.

Clear penalty

the reffing has really deflated me. Heres to a better second half where Mexico can keep dominating.

I know, but you can't expect the ref to see that slight of a deflection through that traffic.

It's frustrating for Mexico though, clearly. 0-0 at half. Cameroon dodging bullets.

What a dominating tie by Mexico.

Who advances from Group A?
