All rational thought aside, things are poised for a David and Goliath upset. The first red to Mares I can defend the ref's call, as much as I know he favored us in the game. My impression is Mares saw Ecks coming, got to the ball and raised the boot to defend himself against what he knew was going to be inevitable pain. Look at the replay again. I have seen those type of challenges many times, but how many times does a guy go to ground like that and then raise his foot at about 40 degrees. Ecks gets for sure yellow and probably red If Mares' foot stays anywhere near the ground. With the scoreline what it was, a selfish play imo.
Quintero doing that at the end of the game was doorknob-like IQ stupid. You came here and got the result you could feel comfortable with. Not wanted, but gladly taken. Headbutt at the final whistle? Bright.
Gomez? Are you kidding me? It is universal in sports, don't give them anything extra to play for. Don't guarantee wins, don't make threats etc. Herculez Gomez is not the Mark Messier of football. stfu.
Can we do it? Yes. We. Cann.
