    Geiger caught a handball on the goal line by Seth Sinovic. Talking heads are decrying it was not clear and obvious, but I vehemently disagree.

    Saw that live and the angles on FS1 made it look like he only played it with his chest. But when Geiger sent it down I said immediately that it would probably be a PK and DOGSO because if it wasn’t obvious I don’t think he would’ve sent it down. Chapman also spent less than 30 seconds at the monitor before making his decision.

    Yep, and remember that they can zoom in on it, too

    The question here was pretty much "Did it hit the arm?" If so, it's obviously deliberate, and there's only one possible outcome.

    PK waved off through VAR in Colorado. I thought it was the right call and exactly what VAR was designed for.
