  1. Great takes, this is one Instant Replay where I agree with 90%+ of your takes Andrew. Also glad to see you're of the opinion that the St Clair and Yeboah incident in the Crew game was a clear penalty, I was seeing arguments on reddit and completely baffled at how you could argue that it wasn't a penalty when St Clair gets zero contact on the ball and wipes out Yeboah, who has intentionally passed the ball at that point- not lost control of his dribble.

  2. Disagree on the NE-Toronto call, Wiebe. We can't let attackers be completely untouchable in the box. The guy won the ball, he got there first, and then stepped on the attacker in some incidental contact as part of winning the ball. Therefore, he has a right to that space. No penalty. We already give pens for wayyyy too cheap of fouls these days, and it's even worse when it had nothing to do with a scoring opportunity (see Chicago – Cincy, which was the right call but a total gift that Chicago gets a free goal for that).

  3. I think sands maybe shouldve had a second yellow, not a straight red, however. Put up his hands and feet to protect himself. Should sands know that the player is still running that way, possibly. Is he rolling over and trying to prevent further injury on himself? I believe so. Arguement for a second yellow, probably the worst call of the week IMO

  4. It wasn’t offside. If you pause the video the moment the ball leaves Messi’s foot, you can clearly see that Suarez is marginally behind the defender.

  5. imo, this week was AGAIN refereed at a significantly higher level than last season mls. also, i disagree with your take on a couple of these calls (e.g., i think if the defender wins the ball it's not a penalty unless they go through the opponent), and again, very impressed with these "replacements".

  6. Idk how you have VAR and not even check that PK call on Yeboah in the Crew game. It was obvious. The ref didn’t even hold up play after the ball went out to discuss it. There was also a handball in the box on Minnesota near the end of the game. Wasn’t checked either. That costed the crew 2 pts.

  7. 6:30 looks violent, but if you get tackled from behind and are knocked down, then realize another person is falling on you and/or about to step on you, putting your hands and legs up to protect yourself is just a gut reaction. I think the falling player definitely put a little extra in his feet, but he should be able to protect himself as an attacker that just laid a dangerous tackle is now falling on top of him. The "kick out" in this case could be seen as him simply creating a barrier between him and the dangerous falling player.

  8. This is the type of video every pro sports league needs, to calm the rabid fans who swear it was a penalty and to hold refs accountable for their errors.

  9. Vermes and SKC complaining about a goal being allowed after the "minimum" stoppage time mark is sweet irony. Considering they got a win against RSL in 2013 in the exact same manner, and those two extra points gave them the homefield in the cup final that same year.
