  1. As a St. Louis fan, that angle was never shown during the match. So there was pretty much no way to understand the call. After seeing that angle, I still don't like it, but I can understand the penalty decision.

  2. agree with most this week, but that St. Louis handball penalty was an egregiously bad decision. He had his arm tucked, it’s in a natural position for what he’s doing, he can’t remove his forearm from his body, and there is no possible way that from that distance he could’ve meant to block the ball.

    A lot of these “natural/unnatural position” calls have defenders focused on defending unnaturally (hands-behind-the-back, arms tucked in, etc.) to avoid handballs. That’s not the purpose of the rule. They should be free to use arms for balance and marking without fear of the ball striking their arms accidentally.

  3. Portland fan, I completely agree, its a penalty, but what about all the other bad calls that game, every time vancouver went down it was a foul, but the vanoucver foul on evander towards the end wasn't called.

  4. I agree with your conclusion that the VAR got the handball call (first segment in the video) right, but the fact that the on-field official even called a handball in the first place goes to my complaint about this rule, which I've raised many times: as often interpreted by officials, the practical result is that defenders in the area feel constrained to waddle around like penguins with their arms crossed behind their backs just to make it obvious to the on-field official that the arms aren't extended in an "unnatural position". Which leads me to 3:35. That arm is not an unnatural position for the athletic move the player is engaged in.

  5. It looks to me that MLS is using VAR as it was designed to be. In Europe, the establishment were so anti VAR that it took years for it to be finally accepted. But even with that, they try and use it as little as possible to give the referee the call, so there’s still an infuriating amount of decision mistakes being made.

    If they had used VAR as they should have, EPL teams would have taken at least 5 Champions League titles off Barcelona and Real Madrid.

    But at the time FIFA, under Sep Blatter and his cronies, were scared of the power of English football (they even blocked the EPL from running season games in the US and other overseas places) and we’re trying to balance the power in Europe.

  6. Ok let’s be honest. If that foul against Chicago (I think it was Gutierrez) happens against my team then it’s a PK but if my team commits that contact then it’s not a foul and it’s just a coming together on a 50/50 ball.
    Haha 😂

  7. Bullshit handball call, definitely not in an unnatural position and it sucks we cant ever get a handball call go our way. Just look at Austin in match day 27 (last week), inter Miami in match day 26, or Toronto in match day 24… All similar scenarios and yet we never got a pk for one of them… Sad how we have VAR and cant ever be consistent. Also sad how half our loses come down to a pk

  8. Caranza – 'shot'/crossed the ball, left his feet in the air, under no control and collides into the keeper. Keeper has a right to stand his ground and didn't actively trip/push/hold etc the airborne Caranza. They collide. To me it's as much incidental contact with two players colliding into one another after the ball has been played away. If anything, Caranza launching himself toward the ball and the keeper is the one playing recklessly. The keeper is just in the path of the flying forward. Caranza lauching himself forward to get to the ball first is what causes the collision. Caranza got his shot/cross off and the ball is going out of bounds. The play is basically done, over, and the players run into one another.
    Much like in the next call (LAvCHI) you discuss where the defender and the attacker collide, arguably in a more violent collision than the one above, while going for the ball. In that situation, you argue for a 'good no call.'

  9. Markanich should have been penalized for embellishment / attempt to deceive the referee. They have got to cut some of this fakery out of the game with cards after review.

  10. Philly fan here and I agree that with the yellow rather than red on the DC keeper. He was going for the ball, got there late and the ball was gone. Given that it happened in the box, it's yellow rather than red even if Carranza hadn't played it so far away.

  11. That behind view is not clear at all, the angle is obviously gonna block some of the perception. It was called out on the field and there is 0 definitive proof that was wrong. The onfield decision should've stayed. If it was called in on the field I'd have said the same.

  12. I think I'll have to wait for PRO's analysis of the Rosell challenge (around 5:30). I see Guiterrez get a touch and Rosell not get a touch. Charge on Rosell, PK. Anywhere else on the pitch if we see a challenge where one player gets a touch and the other goes through the player we call a foul. Why not here?
