Particularly annoyedafter US defeat 2-1 by Mexico in the final of Concacaf Gold CupMauricio Pocetino appeared, openly accusing the arbitration of three critical decisions that – according to him – shaped the outcome.
US federal technician reported that his team was entitled to a penalty shootout at 67 ‘ for Jorge Sanchez’s hand, but was not given. At the same time, he claimed that Diego’s foul in Alexis Vega – which led to Erson Alvarez’s winning goal – was non -existentwhile also criticizing the overthrow of the initial offset for the same goal, via VAR.
“If these phases happened against Mexico, the stadium would burn. When they do to us, we are the “good guys”. There is no problem …“Pocetino emphasized.
Chris Richards, the scorer of the US only goal, agreed: “It was as if Sanchez was catching the ball with his hand, as if he was Sakil O’Neil. On the contrary, we blocked us clearly in the foul”
Pocetino made it clear that does not want to seem to be “crying”but felt the need to speak openly: ‘I’m not looking for excuses, I respect Mexico, but that was shameful. The goal had to be canceled, like the two previous Mexican goals canceled by VAR in previous matches. They can’t give them a third goal like that”
