While Team USA did not make any excuses for how they got knocked out of Copa América with a 1-0 loss to Uruguay, many fans and analysts are throwing some of the blame on referee Kevin Ortega.
He didn't help his cause after what he did following the match against Team USA star Christian Pulisic.
Pulisic and several other USMNT players were jawing at Ortega, who was labeled an inexperienced referee for a match of this magnitude, throughout the 90-plus minutes on the pitch after questionable fouls and lack of controlling play.
