Ah doh know how a feeling nah ?!?!  Ticket in mih pocket, leaving de office, red flag, red juzzy and a sigh in mih heart.  "Jes play good football" echoing in my spirit, but hoping for the bess is only heartache from this team.  Whether we qualify or not is not the issue.  Is the lack of respect for the jersey, the country and the beautiful game.  I helping one of the SSFL teams this year and is this what dem youths aspiring to?  Steups.  All this random thoughts in mih head.

WTF wrong with concacaf?

this is clearly a conflict of interest.

http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2009/09/usa-vs-trinidad-tobago-meet-the-ref.html

Tonight's referee is Joel Aguilar of El Salvador. The 30-year-old referee is regarded as one of the best young officials in CONCACAF and was actually one of five CONCACAF referees to be pre-selected to the pool for referees for World Cup 2010. In fact, he was youngest referee in that 38-referee pool.

As for his recent body of work, Aguilar will be remembered most recently for his sending off of Mexico head coach Javier Aguirre during the Gold Cup after Aguirre collided with Panamanian Ricardo Phillips. The play resulted in a suspension for Aguirre, but some bad blood toward Aguilar, who was pulled from doing the USA-Mexico qualifier in Mexico City after objections from the Mexican Federation. This might explain why he hasn't done a qualifier since Costa Rica's 2-0 win vs. Honduras on Feb. 11.

Wondering about Aguilar's track record with the United States?

He officiated the U.S. team's 1-0 win vs. Cuba in Cuba last year, and also refereed the United States' 0-0 tie vs. Argentina on June 6, 2008.

Canadian national team fans don't have fond memories of Aguilar after he awarded a controversial penalty to Honduras in the Gold Cup quarterfinals in July, a decision that ultimately helped knock the Canadians out of the tournament.

And if you're wondering, home teams are 4-2-1 in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying matches officiated by Aguilar, though one of those two home losses was Cuba's 1-0 loss to the United States.

Aguilar's most recent high-profile match was the SuperLiga final, won by Tigres on penalty kicks over the Chicago Fire on Aug. 5th.

So what's our take? Aguilar is one of the better referees in a region filled with bad ones, and while he did botch the penalty call in the Gold Cup quarters, he has a track record of being a solid official and one who should call tonight's game well.

What do you think of Aguilar officiating the USA-Trinidad & Tobago qualifier? Think the game is in good hands? Just glad someone like Neil Brizan or Courtney Campbell isn't reffing the match?

[Peong]

Neil Brizan get a big dis dey.

 Certain referees always pop up in certain games in CONCACAF. It eh no coincidence 
Ah wonder who pay provided the better incentive
