Kaye did it on purpose. If he wanted to he could have feigned tripping over the downed plaeyr to draw a foul. He could have done more to try and clear Gazdag and get to the free ball, but he didn't he hesitated and then purposefully placed his foot into the body, cleats down, on the body of Gazdag. It may have not been much force, but it is a red.
If Barlow were Ibarra, he'd have been red carded for the reaching attempt to block the ball and his studs impacted the oppenent's kicking foot. It wasn't glancing contact. Look at Mosquera's right foot flop back and forth as the tackler comes through.
Miazga's known for his trollery. Stupid Yellow Cards add up. You put a stop to future garbage like this from the players by carding it. He deserved it. Tough. Just don't collect silly yellow cards.
Vancouver knocked the ball away prior to contact. No. Should have been overturned. The referee accidentally body checking a player? In the spirit of the game, maybe the ref should inadvertantly blow his whistle and say, 'oops'. Bottom line, imo, poor referee positioning and chose the wrong path crossing the center of the field to get out of the way instead of first stepping wide. Bad awareness.
Besides the fact that that a foul off the ball is still a foul, the Ferreira/Ruidiaz foul ABSOLUTELY materially affected the game. With the ball position WHERE IT WAS, Ruidiaz running toward the ball would have pressured the defenders/keeper, while the pull meant that Ferreira's teammates had an unpressured play on the ball. Also, misplays happen, and Ruidiaz's specialty is being in a spot to take advantage. That the cross would not have landed at his feet is IMMATERIAL.
surprised you didn't talk about when Arias was taken out by a NYRB player….the NYRB just runs right through him and Arias literally does a flip in the air….ref only gave a yellow
As a Sounders fan Vancouver was flat out robbed. Multiple calls that were beyond terrible. Vancouver certainly deserved a PK in the 46th minute. MLS should be embarrassed that their refs consistently reward ridiculous swan dives and punish players by failing to call fouls when they don't act when pulled or run over.
I think the Sounders were robbed also. Pause at 08:09. the Dallas player is already starting to fall before contact. this is not a PK. A pull in the box is a penalty. MLS instant replay did not even discuss the more obvious no call penalty when again a Sounders player was pulled back, this time by the arm in the 83rd minute.
FC Cincinnati supporter, I think Miazga deserves both of the cards without a doubt.
At the time Jesus gives the foul, he has no idea whether that cross is going to make it to Ruidiaz. Clear PK.
Nah Miazga definitely deserved both yellows. Doesnt matter if itll break your bracket weibe
Vancover got big screwed by refs. That game was terrible by tim ford
If Miazga just did one or two of those “taunts” he’d be fine. Problem is he kept doing it.
How about when a red bull player literally made Arias do a 360 flip and only got a yellow?
re: raul pull in the box
Uh….we dont need to go off spirit and intent….the rules are pretty fucking clear that a hold in the box is a direct kick.
If we want to play this fun "What would football want/expect". Well it sure as hell isn't making subjective calls on the field. I have a hard hard time agreeing with no foul. Sure it doesn't look like Raul is getting their but gk could fumble it with raul's pressure. Its 100% foul and making a precedent of "oh this foul doesn't matter because x happened" is insane reasoning to me.
Enjoy watching Cincy lose to Philly, Miazga. You fucking brought this on yourself and your team.
And fucking fire Tim Ford. He’s not even fit to ref a Canadian Premier League game. Absolute shambles of a performance that makes Pierre-Luc Lauziere look like Pierluigi Collina.
The only people who are torn on the Ferreira tug of Ruidiaz jersey are people who hate the Sounders or Dallas fans. They are torn because they know it is a clear foul and should be given as a pk but they don't want to admit it because they don't want to see us win.
“Delaying his call” in the RSL game? For real? Delaying the call until a shot is taken first is allowing them to play on. That’s rediculous. He got a shot off. It is definitely a PK but the ref allowed double jeopardy. If he had scored it would have been even worse but the ref failed on that one. Just call the PK sooner.
Vancouver really hard done by the refs…
That MAK red 100% shouldve been a yellow. He shouldnt have tried to go over Gazdag but thats what he was trying to do. He clearly tries to avoid stepping on Gazdag. Also if it was a stomp itd have alot more force than it did. Hes literally hopping trying to avoid Gazdag. Also that Atlnta foul on Columbus is clear as day. That not being called is ridiculous. Ref who took out the Vancouver player should be fined and not allowed to ref for a while.
Tolkien’s dive was embarrassing. How much worse do these dives have to be before we start seeing yellow cards for simulation?
It almost seems like Santos played the ball with his arm prior to the goal, which would lead to a free kick anyway.
Proper signal for a foul and goal quite different. Foul is always signalled by a whistle, with directional arm at 45 degrees (and in the example shown a short jog toward the point of infringement and distinct turn to signal a foul helpful). Goal almost always no whistle, with arm extended horizontally pointing to centre spot. Unfortunately officials at all levels get lazy with their signals which can make on-field decisions confusing. Key example is last clip… for me if advantage is being given, signal it. CR putting themselves in a difficult spot to let play continue, shot on goal results and then signalling the penalty.
