Somehow seeing Houston lose to Pachuca last night was even more gut wrenching than DC losing to Guadalajara on Tuesday, in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.For the second year in a row, 2 Mexican teams will play for the confederation crown. I hate it!And just like DCU, Houston had em! They were up 4-3 with under 5 minutes to play. But could not hold on as Pachuca scored late and then again in extra time to end it.A lot of Houston fans are probably screaming about the referee's decisions. He called them for 2 PK's, and the game winning goal came after time had expired in the first half of extra time.But as horrible as Navarro the referee is, he was bad for both teams, and he is not the reason Houston lost.They lost because Pachuca is a freaking attacking and goal scoring machine. Wow were they intense.Some Houston players had magnificent games of skill or tenacity or both. Eddie Robinson, Brian Ching & Wade Barrett gave it everything they had and almost pulled it off for their team. Kelly Gray, Alejandro Moreno & Z
