    I must vent.

    There is an ad for a collaboration between MLS and Audi airing during the Copa America that begins with the ball on a chalk stripe and a goal in the background and a keeper but no other players. At first, it seems strange, because a restart on a stripe would normally be from midfield, but then a foot swings through the ball to shoot at an active keeper, so clearly a PK.

    Did they not have ANY people in the agency who understand that PKs are taken from a spot, not a stripe? Did they think soccer fans, their audience, would not notice?

    Sorry, but I just didn't know where else to place this rant.

    I'm still upset about United's academy kids being used for an ad as players for different teams and beating United.

    I’m convinced they were only used because they could use the cool shot of the elevated Metro train in the background.
