ke cha dai ho.. you said: First of all, no any referee will be influence or intimidate by any player or team. That has been misunderstanding. Referee didn't awarded penalty. I think this is endless claim in between two parties with their prospective. Unless real person (referee) verify. By the way, you can do that through organizer. I say: No one mentioned anything about refree being influenced....wrong signals and change of decisions... definately. No verification is required...becasue histroy is not gonna change...u gotta live with it. You said: Second, DC doesn't have to be lucky. They have proven last four year by winning championship. As far as I know, they are in final all the time in ANA soccer history. Having said that, there is no doubt that NY is good team this year. It was how you play. I think DC play smart soccer by playing defensive game after one goal lead. If you talk about luck, NY was lucky to get bye to get semi-final and they got LA (all of us know what type of team LA were). It was DC that has to play three days twice with Dallas add Nebraska/Kansas player on semi-final. I say: Actually "Lucky" was the work you used for NY, your underestimation of the NY deserves a laudation..Any team could have gotten a bye just so happened it was NY. Brother, just remember histroy changes and will....But again, DC had good players and good sportsmanship...it was only a controversial win. But a win's a win...what u gonna do..right?
