To be honest, I came to the conclusion a couple years ago
The mls owners keep saying they are happy. Interesting. Apparently var works
I made a post in the CBA thread that turned out to be offensive. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I'd just like some honest discussion. The MLS...
You know that meme where some guy is talking some girls ear off hitting on her? That is me telling everyone I have watch tan lines on both my...
Yeah, it's rough out there. FIFA really messed up, again
I'm not saying I agree with this practice. I'm saying this is what is effectively happening at the grassroots level.
Exactly
If elected USSF president I will make the rain jacket an official referee uniform (Actually, if I'm really in charge we are going all black white...
Yep.. When I bought it that was the entire point. Ethnic leagues lol
Agreed. Ask US soccer

That is something being instructed increasingly at lower levels, but really tough to put into practice without repeated experience....
One more random thought. I read some random forum (maybe reddit or some blog) about cleats from Japan. Apparently they have much harder surfaces...
Good news. I assume there isn't much of a deadline here until 24-48 hours before the first game of the season?
What're your thoughts on your AR flagging simulation?
Did usys switch from nike to adidas? Would hate to give new referees bad branding advice
Pro just called me. I told them I am unavailable for all assignments except running a line for soccerref69420 on the Inter Miami game.
I primarily wear cleats for both Center and AR. They make such a huge difference for sprinting and cuts/change of direction. When I'm doing...
