Good afternoon Bob. It's Canada 0 Martinique 0 at halftime from a hot Rose Bowl. The French rejects have been the better side and can count themselves unlucky not to be in the lead.

That's it as Martinique score in the dying seconds to win 1-0 . Not sure who scored for Martinique. A deserved victory
Bloody hell - that's a poor show for Canada. A loss to lowly Martinique. Crikey!
I finally figured it out. Mathias Coureur took the corner. Poorly cleared by David Edgar then Fabrice Reuperne scored a rocket from 35 yards out in the upper 90.

I just got back from walking Sparky and the match kicked off earlier than expected.

It was actually Castro for Mexico, not Osorio.
A head band for Alejandro Castro as he is stretchered off and that may be it for him.

Quintero again flops in the box looking for a panama penalty. The ref's having none of it.

PENALTY AS TORRES PULLS DOWN MARQUEZ IN THE BOX FROM A THROUGH BALL. IT LOOKED A FAIR TACKLE BY TORRES.
My mistake. It was a great tackle by Torres, who at one time was scouted by Blackpool, but nothing ever came of it.
Hiya, MUR - sorry to get here late. I got held up having dinner with friends and then biking home. Beautiful evening here in Fred-town.
Mexico I see are continuing their poor form.
Rolando Blackburn is on for Cecilio Waterman.
Welcome, BD. Mexico have a reserve side out, but yes it's the same story.
Glad you are having great weather. Overcast and humid here today, but not nearly as hot as normal.
Nasty by Pena on Quintero. That could have been a red with a different ref.
Well, I suppose Chicha and co. have already reported to their European club sides.
They have .None of the Confeds Cup players are in this tournament.
Amazing that Mexico aren't pressing more for this equalizer.
I don't think I will be around for any of the matches tomorrow. None of them really appeal to me. The next big one is the U.S. vs Belize at 11 PM on Tuesday.
It's party time for the Panamanians in the crowd.
I am surprised about that too. Plenty of time remaining.
Cheko De La Torre may be fired this evening if Mexico lose to Panama.
About ten minutes plus stoppage time remaining.
You think so - in the midst of a World Cup qualifying campaign? I reckon they'll limp into qualifying, probably third, and then he walks the plank.
Fabian has a shot deflected for a corner.
A poor Gold Cup may expedite a trip down the plank.
Will you be around for the U.S. vs Belize on Tuesday? It's a late one. Kickoff at 11 PM EDT.
Juan Perez on for Gabriel Gomez.
Oh yeah - no problems - I'll be around for that one.
superb save by Penedo from a header off the corner then he punches away two crosses.
I'm not too keen about the matches tomorrow nor the earlier Tuesday kickoff , which is Costa Rica vs Cuba.
Doesn't look promising for tomorrow, although my friend from Trinidad might be interested in the late match. Might watch that with him.
Gabriel Torres down injured, but I think he may be wasting time.
If you're blogging that one then I'll be around.
Harold Cummings on for Gabriel Torres.
Might just hang out at his place and have some beers.
BLOODY HELL. THERE'S NO WAY PENBEDO IS INJURED FROM GATHERING THAT CROSS.
Panama definitely playing for time now.
Sounds like a plan. They kick off vs El Salvador at 7 PM tomorrow.
They sure. Poor by them that is ruining a great performance.
I've seen thirteen minutes added in England. Five minutes of stoppage time in this match
Another stoppage as there is a pitch invasion.
I think there were fifteen minutes added to that Hull City v. Leeds match's first half on the last day of the season. I remember that the other matches had kicked off their second halfs before we'd reached half-time.
Mexico with no cutting edge as they have run out of ideas.
WOW! That's the longest that I know of.
I'll go back at look at that thread now.
That's it as Panama defeat Mexico 2-1 as we start the tournament with two shockers.
I have both matches on. It should be a great read. Enjoy.
Here's your comment from 8:34am on May 4, 2013:
"I just heard that there will be SIXTEEN MINUTES OF STOPPAGE TIME AT VICARAGE ROAD!"
Wow!
So Panama and Martinique are the pace setters in Group A. Who would have predicted that?
That must be a record. I remember that match. Why do they mainly involve LUFC???
Definitely not yours truly.
Cheerio, mate. Talk to you later.
Cheers Bob. I'll talk to you later.
