I thought it was a questionable penalty call (though the Fox announcers didn't seem too bothered by it). [/b]

Nor did Moreno.

Not according to his comment in the Washington Post. Although he certainly didn't argue on the pitch.

United v Pumas

You may have to register -- so here is his and other United comments on the penalty call.

"...What most irritated them, however, was Canadian referee Mauricio Navarro's call on Jaime Moreno for knocking down Israel Castro on the right side of the box. It led to Brazilian midfielder Ailton da Silva's penalty kick in the 52nd minute."

"... "That was really unfair," Moreno said of the foul, "but there's nothing we can do about it."

"... Said Coach Peter Nowak: "You can just laugh about that. We were supposed to be the winner."

"... Goalkeeper Nick Rimando called it "one of the worst PK calls ever against me."

"... Added defender Mike Petke: "I don't know what's more embarrassing -- the dive or that the referee fell for it. I was happy about the referee at the beginning because he let a lot of stuff go, and for him to call that? . . . Only in America. We go down to Mexico next week, you kidding me? They're going to have four penalty kicks."

* BEST OF THE WEB: D.C. United Will Get A New Owner

"A local group that includes D.C. United President Kevin Payne is close to a deal to purchase the Major League Soccer team's operating rights from Colorado billionaire Philip F. Anschutz, soccer officials said yesterday.

"Details of the negotiations have been kept quiet as talks intensified in recent weeks. But those close to the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said plans are in place to announce the sale within the month. ...

"... The price is estimated at around $20 million. Investors who operate MLS's expansion teams, Dave Checketts of Real Salt Lake and Jorge Vergara of Los Angeles-based Chivas USA, paid a $10 million fee last year. ..."
