Yeah they are throwing the ref under the bus on that one Archived Message

The verbiage is correct in that it is the refs sole decision in a normal match. That said all Concacaf Gold Cup matches have a match commissioner that is ultimately the decision maker with the refs recommendation. They of course factor periodization schedule and tv rights into any decision and there was no chance they were not playing that match. The ref even tried to stop it in the 3rd minute. She comically rolled the ball around on the pitch to show the ball wasn't rolling to the commissioner before they basically told her to get on with it. They brought the squeegees out at half but it was like trying to dry up a pond.
