Am I missing something or did T&T actually play Guatemala rather than Puerto Rico? "Bizzaro", he's that weird guy from Superman comics. Guess that explains the confusion. The game can be replayed on NBCsports.com, and you can see for yourself. Even the commentator knew what the offense was. That was not so much bizarre as it was surreal. The T&T player after the match still didn't understand for what she was penalized. It's our old friend, deliberately handling the ball. Doesn't seem all that bizarre. It's hardly the first time a player picked up the ball thinking it was out of bounds, and it won't be the last. Pretty bizarre reporting though, and yet another example of how you just don't know from where the entertainment value of the game might come.
