Any touch on the ball is deliberate. If you have to “put on your lawyer hat”, you’re overthinking it. This goes against the nature of the game.
Luna red card rescinded after appeal.
How does he go to the monitor and still give Luna a red? If anyone should have been given one, it was the other player. Had his arm around his neck to pull him down. Then kept hold of his ankle. Possibly one of the dumbest reds I’ve seen given in a long time. Pathetic call
Even though my team lost to Inter Messi, Tori Penso did a really good job officiating the game. Seems like the majority of the time, not always, Miami get favorable calls. She called a very fair game and didn’t miss much.
“And still a red card!” 😂
Nothing from Columbus vs. Miami? That game was terribly officiated.
Pretty sure Dujic called for penalty when the foul was first committed. The VAR, as we in Charlotte understood, was the question of whether it was a DOGSO red card, or a 2nd yellow for Reyes. Clearly, it was a 2nd yellow. Dujic was granting a penalty, regardless.
Glad that Diego Luna's red card was rescinded. He wasn't being violent in anyway.
Alan Chapman should be fired for every OTHER call he made in that PHI/ATL game. PHI is lucky ATL happened to be the worst team in the league that night.
Diego Luna yanked the guy down by his neck. Red is correct.
Dujic is such a clown. Nobody paid to see you, ref.
I have no problem with Chara’s trip on Bouanga being ruled a foul, but I wish VAR had taken a look at the buildup, because it looked like there was a foul that gave LAFC the ball that started that attack
3:57 we have seen so many "deliberate playing of the ball" where it's a totally shanked kick but it still. I've never seen control influence one of these plays
I'm biased as a St. Louis supporter, and I actually called at the time that Wallem was offside, but I could see an argument that the Vancouver defender had a chance to possess the ball, but was just a little clumsy in his movement. I do think the law needs to be changed for when the ball is deflected to players like in this situation. I would be ok if for the purpose of offside, the defender was treated functionally as an offensive player, and as long as the offensive player is behind the deflected ball, they are considered onside. But I have no input at IFAB, just a lonely grassroots soccer ref over here.
I still can't believe the ref didn't stop play when he tripped Pineda in the Fire game. To be clear, I understand that their is no rule that dictates how to handle this, I know this being a ref myself. But in the laws of the game, a ref is meant to keep the game fair for both sides, or is it not. This clearly should have been stopped because possession of the ball was gonna change and leave the Fire short-handed on a counter. The ref could have easily restarted with a drop ball. This play in itself changed the outcome of the game.
The Diego Luna red card is one of the worst MLS calls I've seen in a long time. It's not even a foul. The only foul on the play is against Luna. It's baffling the official didn't change after VAR.
That play is almost identical to what happened to Atlanta against New England. Weibe is being consistent with his analysis. Bad rule, but if it’s called that way consistently, I can live with it. I just haven’t seen it called on any non-goal scoring plays.
MLS officiating is so bad it defies explanation. I asked AI this question: Has there ever been a soccer cheating scandal involving referees? The answer was a resounding YES! Referee corruption has been a recurring issue in soccer. AI offered numerous examples including Robert Hoyzer 2005, Juventus 2006, Brazilian Whistle mafia 2017 and an ongoing investigation involving FC Barcelona. AI said there has not been a proven large-scale cheating scandal in MLS but in 2024 there were serious allegations of VAR interference raising concerns about existing protocols to prevent undue influence on match officials. The next logical question to ask AI is: How much money is currently being wagered on MLS matches? The amount is unknown but estimated to be ENORMOUS and growing. The entire sports betting market in the US is multiple billions of dollars. The MLS deal with sports betting company IMG Arena alone is worth $270 million. When you combine vast amounts of money with so many bad calls, it can only make fans worry about the integrity of the game.
TFC paid that dude 138 Canadian dollars (100$) for that red
It doesn’t matter, but I feel like Wallem being onside at the time of the defender’s deflection should be counted onside.
the ref did not run into the player. the player ran into the ref…from behind! play continues. re the first lafc "goal", clearly offside!
The STL VAN game, that's a "deliberate play of the ball." The Vancouver defender deliberately stretched and played the ball, it didn't just bounce off that foot. He obviously controlled where that ball went, maybe not well, but it was a deliberate. The referee, and Wiebe, are both wrong on that.
For that offside call people have been discussion forever, I do suggest to shrink the applying of the term "play" because a miss-play is still a play. But we can expand the applying of the term "save", as in this case, the defender is trying to save a goal from building up there. So I will argue this is a miss-play but also a save, therefore, the decision is still off side.
@andrew-wiebe I agree with you when I watched the game live. Diego Luna did nothing of violent conduct that ref was just straight up trippin in helping Toronto get there 1st win of the season by getting rid of our best player the MLS needs to let him go he should no longer be referring at the high level professional sports he should have never gave him a red card nor a yellow care he didn't even stomp on him dude legit flopped so the ref could call something there way in messing up Real Salt Lake's momentum
I paused the St. Louis City game and looked up the offside rule. I was too frustrated to keep watching until I checked.
My needless stupid incident of the MLS week was never going to make it into this video: Galaxy at Austin, nil-nil in the second half, and a Galaxy player goes down, and after a bit of time they decide to sub him out. The player jogs off without much trouble and gets to within TWO FEET of the waiting incoming player, and comes to a standing stop because the trainer has entered the field to flash lights in his eyes to see if he's lost his balance. The referee approaches and instead of red carding both the trainer and the player for this obvious timewasting move, just expresses vague disapproval as time dwindles away for Austin to finally score on the Puig-less champs as most teams have so far this season. When time runs out on the second half clock the Galaxy are down 1-nil and a full ten minutes are added, so the team that created the bulk of the time added is actually gaining an advantage from it.
This needs to be fixed. Add a guy in the VAR booth to track obvious timewasting by both teams. If the team that played fair has the result they want, blow the whistle rather than let the floppers and time wasters gain by giving them back the time they themselves wasted. If there's ten minutes lost to stoppages and LA is responsible for six, Austin three and the other one is both partly at fault, play the one minute and then if the referee's sense is that only one team is looking for a needed goal, let that team have the time the others wasted, but not the time they wasted. And if they start recording which teams are wasting time and where (these 'vital' substitutions in the last five minutes by the team in the lead are not fooling anyone, by the way….) the stats will be more entertaining than the Apple TV+ win probability graph, which I am convinced is done by some process involving chimpanzees for all the logic that seems to be in it.
