PBP: MLS 2019 Season Week 30 Game Thread [R]

Union! 1-1.

 

Philly ties it 1 - 1.

 

I knew I shouldn't have switched away from the Portland - Revs game. Even after the Revs scored to make it 2 - 1 I didn't switch back. I blame Sitruc:

 

You're welcome.

Another boring tie.

 

Shirts are staying on. The Union have taken the lead.

 

Philly with a second.

 

I love this league. High drama all over the place.

 

I am not sad that the Union have taken the lead. Not one little bit.

 

Penalty!

 

What the hell is Colin doing?

 

Being himself.

 

I don't think that's a clear and obvious error even though it's a very soft call.

 

Am I senile, but didn’t obstruction things like this pk possibly against philly used to be indirect free kicks instead of penalties or am I jus senile and making stuff up?

 

Point shaving?

(Just kidding)

 

I’m shocked Toledo (who usually never admits an error) took that away.

 

No penalty after VAR.

 

I think if you call it, it isn't clearly and obviously a wrong call. If you don't call it, that would be the same - not clearly and obviously wrong. Whatever was called should stand after VAR.

 

This. Toledo doesn't even like to go to have a look, much less overturn himself.

 

With New England coming back to draw Portland in ensured that the Rapids will still be mathematically alive on the next to last day of the season.

I'm disappointed in the rest of the league.

 

I think it's one of the dumbest stadium design decisions to put in field level suites along large portions of the field. Hurts the atmosphere in the stadiums. And it looks like shit on tv.

 

That's an absurd use of video review. Nothing there looks like it was clearly wrong to call a foul. It's perfectly reasonable to say that Collin unfairly impeded the opponent by charging/pushing in a careless manner. He's not legally shielding the ball because he's never in possession. Mind-boggling.

 

The night is finally over.

 

Wednesday MLS done and dusted.
