The Americans had a strong opening 30 minutes to their CONCACAF Gold Cup semi final vs. Jamaica, but out of nowhere found themselves down 1-0 on a looping Darren Mattocks header:

Minutes later, Giles Barnes hammered home a free kick goal, putting the Reggae Boyz up two.

USA players complaining that nobody touched the ball on what should have been an indirect free kick, but referee not hearing it.

To clarify on that goal, Guzan whistled for handling outside the penalty area. That's a direct free kick. Ref made right call on that one.

#USMNT hadn't conceded two goals in the first half in its previous 32 games, since Sept. 2013 at Costa Rica.
