Never been a fan of Holden in the booth but it’s good on him for calling Anthony Precourt out when given the opportunity. JP, too.
I'd only be happy hallelujah if the Galaxy were truly relegated. Or, even better, moved to Cincinnati or some other city. That'd be hilarious. #SaveTheCrew #MoveTheGalaxy
I'd like soccer to move away from reds for basically any contact non-soccer contact, but as the game is called, yeah...
While I agree, I would point out that Deuce went for the head, while Robles just kicked out. But that kick out is a red all day.
If the Galaxy pulled a Dynamo to Sacramento, would that be OK with me? That's a tough one. Would they all shower to wash off the LA stink?
I don’t disagree at all, but kicking out like that has gotten players tossed from World Cups. That was a red as the game is called.
Let's say for a moment that they take a look at the incident and decide it's violent conduct. Do they give a penalty, or do they look at the prior contact with Robles and give a free kick to NY? In this scenario, Robles is sent off either way.
Decisions like that and the Dempsey red are why VAR needs to be centralized. If you're going to have it, decisions using it need to be be consistent, and not subject to the officials at the match on any given day.
