Booking

The referee's calls weren't convincing; in fact, he made some important mistakes. From the beginning, he made some doubtful decisions, especially in Mexico's favor. I also saw a permissive Chandía, more so than usual with him. He should have booked Pinto, and in the 2nd half, he correctly booked Verón after a very hard foul against Guardado. Apart from that and other little mistakes, he was OK (i.e. when booking Torrado or Marquez).

Gift

The score was 2 - 0 when Tevez took the ball, entered the area, was blocked by a Mexican defender, and fell down immediately. Chandía whistled and conceded a penalty, which I'm sure it was not... This is football, not basketball. The Mexican only protected the ball, and didn't mean to bring down the Argentinian (in fact, he didn't).

Ref. FIFA

During a large part of the match, Chandía's t-shirt looked "empty". He had lost his FIFA badge, that had been stuck to one of his t-shirt's pockets. Maybe Chandía thought he was going to be demoted by FIFA? Take it easy, Carlos ... you have a lot to improve on, but you're still a top international referee. No doubts!
