Nothing describes this better than what went down during the Gold Cup finals between Mauricio Pochettino's USMNT and Mexico. The Star and Stripes suffered a heart-wrenching defeat with their rivals picking up a 2-1 win to secure the silverware.

After Sunday's 2-1 loss to Mexico in the Gold Cup Final, United States men's national team coach Mauricio Pochettino had some choice words for the officials over a controversial no-call.

U.S. men’s national team manager Mauricio Pochettino lambasted referee Mario Escobar in the wake of his team’s 2-1 Concacaf Gold Cup final defeat to Mexico. Pochettino was dismayed at a pair of decisions that he believed tilted the contest against his team, which had taken an early lead thanks to Chris Richards’ headed goal in the fourth minute.
