I was at the game and saw the whole thing. I assume it was discussed on TV but it was an offsides ref (not sure the actual title). He was just standing there and suddenly tipped over like a fallen tree. Within a few seconds you could see his arms moving and a few minutes later he was walking. But they made him hop on the stretcher and rolled him out. Certainly could have gotten concussed. He was on the side that was exposed to sun basically the whole first half. [Reply]

It was easily 80/20 in favor of Peru. Canada fans definitely didn’t show up. Announced attendance was just under 12k but I’m sure it looked way worst on TV since basically 2 out of 4 sides were in the sun and most people didn’t stay in those seats for long. [Reply]
Mexico has to get a win on Sunday vs Ecuador or they are getting grouped out by Ecuador and Venezuela. Venezuela was the lowest ranked squad in the group and they already basically won the group. Pretty impressive showing. [Reply]
