Cucuy Screwed by the Ref Big Time

Saturday United - Cucuy FC 2:1 (2:1)

With a firm language barrier in place we've been unlucky in the past dealing with refs that don't speak any English. This time we really got screwed. We had an open game until about 60 minutes into the game, when Karol fouled a player in mid-field that deserved a yellow. To everybody's surprise he did not get one but two yellows and was sent off, because the ref thought Karol had seen a yellow in the first half, which he had not. When Chris tried to explain that "ocho" is not "nueve" he was sent off with a straight red. These seriously crappy ref decisions can really take the fun out of it. Nevertheless, we managed to keep it at 2:1 for the rest of the game, which was pretty impressive.

Maybe it's time for a referee evaluation after each game.

Goal: Chris
MVP: Kyle
