Both disallowed goals were so clear, if i was McCarthy i would get extremely pissed and prolly lose my concentration because of such blatant referee mistakes. But he kept going and trying to score and that shot that hit the bar was phenomenal.
What a difference btw McCarthy´s shadow years in Celta and his Porto performances. Awesome player.
I agree that the Linesmen (Peru and Paraguay) made some mistakes.....but they had some really tough angles at times.
They did well all around though it seemed that they were kinda going easy on Once Caldas.
Im kinda surprised how well the Uruguayan ref did today. Calm like any other day. His red card to Diego was justified.
All 3 refs were as good as the UEFA ones last year.
But the game........it would have been REALLY unjust if Once won. Like last year.....Boca actually deserved to tie and even win. They deserved to go to PKs cause of their brilliant defending and midfield.
But Once made me depressed to be cheering for them. I only felt sad when Once players were crying (breaks the heart...poor guys).
Like guys.....if your gonna defend....atleast defend right. (Sloppy as hell).
Congrats Porto....last Intercontinental champs (although it will prob return)
RIP Toyota Intercontinental- Nacional 1981- Porto 2004
EDIT: Dont you guys think that they should get rid of some of the championships to have this World Club Cup??
I mean....they already have enough competition with: UEFA Cup...Champs LEague....League.....League Cup.......Practices........National team Practices.......National team friendly games........National Team Qualifyers......etc...............Like: Holy **** eh?
They should get rid of the UEFA Cup and the Copa Sudamericana to have this....also shorten the World Cup qualifyers in South America. Just so much traveling.
what do u guys think?
