The ref just seemed to want to go inside. Watching it live, it looked like a penalty to me. Does anyone have the video? I know they can't use VAR for all USOC matches but they should use it when they can.
They only showed one angle (and no replays) of the play, looks like to me Accam wrapped himself around the defender though to try and get a call.
Doesn't look like a foul to me. It's kind of tough to tell, but it also appears contact was outside the area.
Weird. Brad Guzan was credited with an own goal on MLS Soccer. With that down pour and the field conditions in Columbus, I don't see how that is possible from trying to slide/stop a shot. I wonder if the official USOC match report had the same. Edit: What is the threshold for an own goal by a GK? I can see punching or throwing the ball into the net, misplaying a pass to yourself or directly kicking the ball at goal.
I believe the standard for any defender, keeper included, is if you redirect a ball that would not have went into the goal on its own then that is scored as an own goal. It looks to me like that shot would not have scored if Guzan had not redirected the ball. So it is an own goal.
USSF has (had) this thing that if you won the rights to host the game (coin flip or envelops I forget) but you could not host the game then the other team gets to host. That would work, the lower league team would host unless they have a legit reasons on why they can't, then the MLS team would host, unless they can't for what ever reason, then we have problems, maybe a neutral site.
Meaning he actually got off a shot, it was on target, and completely crossed the goal line. Three things whose frequency ranged from extremely rare to never for the man I refer to as Speed Brother #2 (aka Menos to Abu Danladi's Mas).
Caicedo really should have gotten that on goal at a minimum, and an open header in minute 120 to tie the game has to be taken advantage of.
Still cannot believe the Revs didn't find the equalizer, Orlando was begging them to send it to spot kicks. Well, at least there will be at least one HUGE rivalry in the quarters...........
FCC are so bad going forward........................and somehow St Louis hasn't found a way to score yet given all of the chances FCC is giving them. An MLS side would have 2-3 goals by now.
