I just watched Arena's post game presser... lol. the guy couldnt just answer questions like a professional. it was just snarky remarks and basically just letting the reporters answer their own questions. he's obviously upset with the red card. he didn't mention anything about the PK and not sure anybody can really say it wasn't one. I think the red was soft because it wasn't given for the violent foul, but for dogso. taty wasn't exactly in on goal... so that red probably should have stayed a yellow. that being said, the ref was completely all over the place today and the major calls that influenced the game just happened to go in our favor. i'll take it ... considering we've been screwed so often by refs in this league.
overall - MLS refs have got to be the worst in the world. I swear there are youth or rec league refs who are better.
Dome said in his post game presser Maxi will be suspended for TFC... so someone has the incorrect info? question is who...
Arena's always been that way. He's a jerk.
Referee was absolutely a shambles today. Just terrible. Might be the worst officiated game I've seen, and that's saying something. The DOGSO shouldn't have gone to VAR as it wasn't clear and obvious, the ridiculous foul and yellow cards -- then he misses the clear-as-day PK at the death. The worst officiated game I've ever seen in MLS. And that's saying something. As you said, the refs in this league are so bad. The league is getting better, but the referees have not.
