Remember Jorge Larrionda?

Guess who’s running the center for today’s United States vs Spain - 2009 Confederations Cup SemiFinal match?
Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda, the same man who was in the middle for the 2006 World Cup clash between the US and Italy.

How does this happen. FIFA needs to end this crap. Why couldn’t we get Howard Webb
Everyone remembers the reds from this game, but I remember the Beasley goal that was called back that should have been allowed.
Yea that beasley goal pissed me off so much. called back for no reason. still pissed
[…] there ever any doubt from the opening Yellow Card shown to Landon Donovan that Uruguayan referee Jorge Larrionda was going to put his stamp on this SemiFinal matchup between the United States and […]
The refereeing has been terrible–constant holding in the box is never called. And Bradley’s red card? Absolutely ridiculous! It did seem that the referees were favorable to non-U.S. teams. And where was the blind linesman when Donovan got leveled RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM?
those must be good luck red cards he hands out. the US has a draw against italy and won against spain in the two matches he reffed. still, some of his calls are ridiculously bad
