like i said in chat, ref set the tone of the game early with his seemingly onesided calls. we were handcuffed after just 15 mins. how can we match RB intensity if a bunch of are guys already have cards and soft fouls (or non fouls) are getting called against us, but blatant pushes in the box and constant hacking by the RBs get away with no calls and definitely no yellows.
This guy stepped into an MLS rivalry game with training wheels and couldn't handle it. started throwing cards out early thinking he'd show everyone who's boss and ended up changing the game.
Thiago's stupidity fucked us. but ref influenced this game. No one can convince me otherwise. Evidence is that there's so much discussion about his dumbass after the game instead of how we played.
fuck this guy. hope he never touches an MLS match. send him back to youth league.
