Panama were mere seconds away from upsetting Mexico in the Gold Cup semifinals despite having just 10 men for almost the entire game. Referee Mark Geiger robbed them, giving a penalty for a handball that never was. They were so annoyed that they went to walk off the pitch ... and the reaction from El Tri supporters was not positive.
