Only thing I can do is add confusion. The Galaxy are not "Los Angeles" but are officially "LA Galaxy"

A very me problem. Since the game starts at 8:30 NYC time that means we will be a little more than half way through when RSL kicks off. So I have to pick one to watch. My normal watch our game till finish and start the RSL game won’t work this time.

Ten of the twelve teams playing today are West conference. Has anyone else noticed that when there are games on back to back days it’s usually West-heavy on day 2? I can’t think why that would be. It doesn’t bother me. In fact I mostly like getting East results on the first day. But it’s weird.
I mean, that's awesome. Absolutely awesome. Stupid move, but hilariously awesome. LOL
i think if you're a dumbass jumping and dancing around in front of a player trying to throw the ball in, you can't complain about getting the ball thrown at you. i don't think it should have been a yellow on arriola. definitely a red for the retaliation though. if i were the ref, i wouldn't have given the yellow. it's no different than standing in front of a free kick to try to stop the quick restart and a player kicks it as hard as they can into you. are you gonna retaliate because you chose to stand there? while I can understand and appreciate the ref giving the yellow to deter more players from doing the same in the future, i think it should be more of a lesson that you shouldn't just stand and dance in front of a throw-in. but i guess that's me. hah
The Laws state that a player in Arriola's situation can throw the ball at the impeding player "but not in a careless or a reckless manner or using excessive force.." I doubt Arriola could have thrown it any harder, lol, so I think it was excessive and a yellow was fair.
Absent the body slam, I think Bassong still deserves a yellow for interference, and as he was already on a yellow, he still gets ejected.
This raises an interesting question then. If Bassong gets a yellow for interfering before he body slams the player, should he then be receiving 2 yellows and 2 reds in one game? Can a player receive two reds in a game?
Doesn’t seem likely, but as a player who receives a red I have now received the highest level of punishment I can receive from a game (baring after match review) so what’s to stop me from continuing to lash out and delay? Thankfully that’s not something that happens in the modern game, but it seems like there is a potential vacuum of power based on lack of in the moment discipline.
Good questions. I don't know. I don't believe Bassong received a second yellow though he could have. And then he theoretically has 2 reds in one game, worth I presume at least a 2 game subsequent suspension.
Another red oddity just happened in the Euros. Bertug Yildirum of Turkey was issued a red while on the bench at 90+6. He was sent off for the remaining moments of the match, but Turkey kept playing with 11 men. I understand why coach reds don't put you a player down, but it seems wrong that a player who gets red for dissent while playing means you play with 10, but a player on the bench who dissents means a lesser punishment for the team. I'm not scandalized by the disparity but it seems wrong.
the look on arriola's face though was still "worth it". if i saw a dumbass dancing in front of me like that, i'd be tempted to do the same thing.
100% Team Shwafta for using the term Team Headbonk LOL
This week it works cause Chicago is on Central and Portland is on west coast. But you’re damn funny if you think I can stay awake till game end at 12/12:30A very me problem. Since the game starts at 8:30 NYC time that means we will be a little more than half way through when RSL kicks off. So I have to pick one to watch.
