I don't care if the actual impact on the USA is nothing. This ruling is mind-numbingly stupid. Just unfathomable to me how they came up with this ruling:

So McKennie got suspended three games but no one in the entire mob that was attacking him got suspended? His shirt got ripped off by a wraith?
And Dest is suspended, but the guy who instigated by hitting him multiple times gets off scot-free? And he gets the same # of games for defending himself as the guy who ran over to nail him and then kept following him all over the field?
CONCACAF making rulings based on "keeping everyone happy" as opposed to the actual shyt on the field is insane. This just encourages any team losing a rivalry game late to instigate and try to injure as much as they want, at least they'll get a moral victory when it fukks over their opponent.

The Mexico-U.S. game finished five minutes early due to rising tensions on the field and in the stands.
