  1. I disagree with the “have you ever seen this called?” logic on the St. Louis goal. We’ve never had a chance to see this called because it’s never happened before.

  2. Did you see the angle on the Stuver/Stroud play that’s sort of in line with the direction Stroud is going? I think Stroud catches a piece of Stuver’s right elbow. Okay with the no PK call, but not a blatant dive by Stroud

  3. In the Mendes/Ibeaga DOGSO question, if there wasn't DOGSO — that is, if Ibeaga got the ball — then isn't that a pass by Ibeaga back to his GK? Who then handled it with his hands?

  4. We have to get rid of all this "is it deliberate and in natural position"… Let's make it objective and a hand ball is a hand ball… the only objective decision a ref should be making is if the arms are tucked or not…

  5. It's pretty clear that Keller just never sees Stroud and has no idea he's there and so tries to blindly play the ball back to his keeper like defenders love to do. SKC tried the same thing in Portland.

  6. I think there's two reasons they're choosing not to post highlights on YouTube:

    1. They want to drive traffic to Apple TV for recaps and other content
    2. Letting only home teams post their highlights will help boost each team's YT subscriber count (which usually are low bc you only had to be subbed to MLS for highlights)

    Just my guess 🤷‍♂️

  7. the goal at 6:52 is why mls is still a sunday league level competition. about 80 percent of the players playing today in mls arent talented enough to be called professionals

  8. Ramy Touchan and Geoff Gamble made the incorrect call. That was 100 percent a dogso. This looks like a really hard foul, and TBH not sure how they missed that one. Really depends on the angle you get. Thats where Gamble should have recommended VAR.

  9. I'm a west coast fan so don't care a lot about the East, but how could you have not covered the two very questionable calls Phili got? In the highlights, it looks like they weren't deserved.
