  1. Carranza wasnt faking going down, but he did not go down because of the contaxt from Nealis. His back foot went into the ground toe first and he fell.

  2. If anybody thinks that MLS referees are bad, they should take a look at the Premier League ones. The sheer incompetence for one of the supposed biggest leagues in the world is disgusting.

  3. watched the FCC game live, saw that really late hit on Brenner wondering why it wasn't a red. Immediately was waiting to see if that would end up on this video. Glad to see this series

  4. St louis were robbed a clear pen. The match was ultimately abandoned(weather?) but would appreciate coverage on that call since this great show concept exists to cover these things. Was tearing my hair off watching that one and need some sort of closure.

  5. Wiebe is incorrect in saying it's a penalty but also simulation. Simulation is pretending a foul was committed against you, almost always without contact. If you claim this is a penalty contact foul, you CANNOT call it simulation. "Embellishment" is not a penalty in IFAB. This is not hockey. You absolutely CANNOT call a PK, then give him a YC for "simulation". If a PRO referee did this, kiss his career goodbye.

  6. FC Cincinnati had some issues with Guido Gonzales in the past when both team and referee were in the USL, namely the most egregious not handball penalty call you may ever see from a professional referee when FCC played Rochester in July of 2017. In the DC match, it was an obvious red that was blown by Guido.

  7. I just want to point out that in the penalty call at 2:00, it can be true that NYRB player commits a penalty and the Philly player is guilty of simulation. It wouldn't change the restart, which is a penalty kick, and the Philly player would still get a yellow.

  8. 1:58. "Unnaturally bigger". This is where I chafe at calls on this issue. He's trying to win a 1 on 1 with opposing defender. Soccer is physical. Players block opponents with their arms. In context of the physical struggle between the two players, his arm extended outward is 100% natural. Players in the box should not be constrained to waddling like penguins, with arms pinned behind backs, to avoid handball calls. Arms are a normal part of vigorous physical movement, especially in the context of a hard physical challenge with another player.

  9. Well, Dillon Nealis committed the most cardinal sin of all.

    He gave the refs a chance to make a call.

    When you do that, you can't be surprised when they go against you.

  10. While Nealis put his arm on Carranza’s midsection, I don’t think it was enough to hold him back, let alone send him flying like that! So I would’ve given Carranza a yellow for simulation and no pk!

  11. Maldonado’s foul on Ebobisse wasn’t really controversial. No VAR of Mensah’s elbow to Maldonado with no attempt to play the ball in the box at the end of the first half was controversial.

  12. There are a lot of deserved criticisms of MLS refereeing, but the league discussing controversial calls every week and keeping open discussion is miles ahead of any other league in the world. We need refs more humanized

  13. Carranza’s foot drags the top of the field from the pull, and by trying to continue his stride both feet come off the ground. Definitely a penalty there

  14. You can definitely see contact on Carranza's right foot in the slow motion view. You can see his right foot shudder in the air, probably clipped by the knee of the defender. Sure he made the very most of it but the contact was evident.

  15. Nice honoring of the ref. The one problem I have with it is all the black and white. Heck, I'm older than he was, by more than a decade, and there's been color my entire life.
