  1. Hot Take: Seattle Cinci DOGSO wasn't. It was stopping a promising attack with a flop. 2 yellows, 1 for the foul and one for simulation. Change my mind

  2. Can Diaz get a yellow for the dive? Yes there was a foul, but he got out of it, took 2 more steps and then just let his feet go from underneath himself

  3. Andrew, over the past few years I remember you repeatedly saying that "just because there is contact doesn't mean there is a foul." So far this year, it seems you have changed your opinion completely.

  4. Regarding the SEA-CIN game, both the Hagglund handball and Yeimar's overturned goal were equally inconclusive imo. Both had limited and poor angles shown on the broadcast, maybe VAR had something more to work with. Doesn't make sense that one was reviewed and one wasn't.

  5. Why are RA's calling offside on a decision that is way too close to call in real time. Give advantage to the attacking team (like you are supposed to do), then let VAR sort it out if you made a clear and obvious mistake. More goals, not less.

  6. Am I the only person who sees the ABSOLUTELY BLATANT handball in the NYCFC vs Miami clip? Right before the tackle, Kryvtsov blatantly handles the ball…. he knows it too because he sheepishly tucks his arm to his side.
    Why is nobody else talking about this?

  7. I wonder how much these clowns get paid by the MLS to just agree with everything thats controversial. Can they make it more obvious?? What a joke. This show is literally a biased waste of time that just exists for them to back the referees and not have any accountability, the whole reason why people click on these vids. My team wasnt even on here to be honest. Some of these calls are just absolute nonsense but they are just reading off the script.

  8. The fact that they can't get a clear view on that first no-call is a problem. Surely they need to have higher speed camera that can slow the footage down better because theoretically that should be very easy to review seeing as it's a totally unobstructed view.

  9. Can you be a little more explicit in what the call ended up being at the end? I get lost listening to the reasoning to forget the original decision. I think you did it really well last season.
