Handling the ball outside the box is ridiculous. Darn it.
You should review the yellow card against Arfston in the Crew vs Fire game on Saturday 3/7/2026 … probably one of the worst calls I have ever witnessed.
Regarding the Biro incident, I've been thinking about this all week. The rule defines serious foul play as “a tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality.” Biro was not making a tackle or challenge for the ball. He was jockeying for position behind the attacker when his foot came down on the player’s leg. Even if the contact involved speed and force (not debating that) and deserved a foul, the play does not fit the rule’s requirement that the misconduct arise from a tackle or challenge, so it should not have been punished as serious foul play with a red card. It SHOULD have been punished as careless or reckless with a yellow, especially considering the arm pulling in the moments leading up to the stoppage of play.
Definitely not clear enough is on that last one. Probably the right call but not clear and obvious. If that's clear and obvious then man we should be turning over a lot more calls.
Weibe is clearly being paid by lafc. Last week should not have been a red card on the player who stepped on son. And this week that is not a red card on the FC Dallas player. Come on Weibe. Don't sell out like that. Just so disappointing. How much are they paying you?
0:15 If you are too clumsy to NOT step on the achilles, then you can't play as aggressive. Solid Red reminder for less athletic players everywhere.
THE COP AT 0:34 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The MLS needs to do something about this and sanction the referees who are not doing their job properly. It’s not possible that professional referees make these kinds of mistakes.
The worst part is that, because of their bad decisions, they change the rhythm, the excitement, and the outcome of what is being played on the field. There are certain individuals who seem to like stealing the spotlight with their poor decisions and by not using the VAR.
I would like to know what the MLS plans to do about this. I used to think this only happened to teams from Texas, but now I see that this is something serious that the federation needs to correct. ⚽
The issue I have with the Crepeau red is calling it DOGSO. That ball is chest high in the middle of his torso. If he doesn't use his hands, he simply chests it down. That ball is never getting through and the player would never have a goal scoring opportunity. He doesn't turn into a ghost when he leaves the box, the ball doesn't magically go through his chest. Yellow card.
In a match involving Austin FC, the red card given to Guilherme Biro for “endangering the safety of an opponent” can be argued as incorrect when applying the Laws of the Game created by the International Football Association Board. According to the rules, a red card for serious foul play should only be issued when a player uses excessive force or brutality during a challenge. If Biro was attempting to play the ball and the tackle was only reckless rather than using excessive force, the correct punishment should have been a yellow card, not a red. Physical contact is a normal part of soccer, and a challenge only endangers an opponent’s safety when it involves dangerous elements such as a two-footed lunge, high speed with no control, or studs directly into the opponent. If Biro had control of his body, made minimal contact, or even played the ball first before the collision, the challenge would not clearly meet the threshold for serious foul play. Because the Laws of the Game distinguish between reckless play and excessive force, the decision to give a red card could be considered too harsh and inconsistent with how similar tackles are usually punished.
1:16 because yellow exists if he does it again simple he’s out
1:11 the laws are bad. It's kind of a joke, that in a sport where you play the ball with your feet, stepping on an opponent's ankle by accident is grounds for a red card. This seems ridiculous on its face. He clearly lets up when he feels contact. There doesn't appear to be any malicious intent. It doesn't appear reckless. He's not out of control. He didn't lunge in aggressively. He's playing the game. Calling this endangering a player seems overly dramatic. It's a foul. Get up and play on. It's laughable that someone was ejected for this.
Just as not intending to commit a red-card offense does not absolve a player from getting a red card, making a meal of contact in the box does not negate the fact that a foul was committed. Alladoh was contacted from behind with a forearm in the back and a thigh which turned the angle of his body. Penalty, period.
Mls가 성장하려면 심판진들 먼저 점검해야겠다.
5:30 "a goal scored directly off the arm of the attacker" Once again I'm not sure anyone actually knows what the hand ball rules are (including myself). I've watched for years and I always thought if the arm was tucked into the body then it's fine, as confirmed by TONS of examples I've seen of this happening. MLS hand ball rules are just arbitrary.
3:49 Cool, so apparently I can now run through an attacker’s back and not get called for a pk 🤡
For the first challenge… I think you are wrong to say that the laws do not consider intent. A “reckless” challenge is defined as acting with disregard to the dangers of a challenge and in my opinion that covers some of the incidental / accidental challenges that may have a nastier area of contact.
That being said, I do think this challenge is considered endangering the safety of the attacker.
I'm almost in complete agreement with Wiebe this week… That never happens.
Yall want LAFC to be the new inter SO BADLY, every lil touch is now a red? Oof.
The Orlando keeper handled the ball legally to start with so no DOGSO can be given. Ball was in the box. He handles it. He THEN handles the ball when the BALL (does not matter where HE stands…c'mon you should know that) is outside of the box and it is a then a handball offense. Just that. FK at the top of the box. How does he illegally deny a goal scoring opportunity? His handball then creates an immediate dead ball. No opportunity really existed. If he stopped the ball initially out of the box (illegally) then yes, DOGSO. If he were to catch the ball and then 5 seconds later walk the ball out of the box in-hand no one would even think of calling DOGSO. Thats what he does here just quicker.
What about the reffing decisions in the min united game
The ref during Charlotte Austin was absolutely atrocious the whole game for BOTH teams. Mendoza should have some sort of repercussions. Lost complete control, completely inconsistent, changed decisions and calls on a whim after looking at the video board. Gave a yellow to Zaha for dissent, then he continued to get in the face and scream at all officials without another….inconsistency!
Please look at the NSC games the ref we had was BS. He called everything we did, but Minnesota got away with to many hand balls and other fouls. We still won anyway 3-1 cus that’s how we roll in the south.
ATX vs Charlotte refs were ass
3:20 they missed the one that happened to RSL two weeks ago too in the exact same way. Why is VAR so buns this season so far
BIRO DIDNT STEP ON HIM HE CLEARLY GLIDED OVER HIS FOOT YOUR OUT OF YOUR DAM MIND
