I moved up to Vancouver, BC now. Wish I could afford MDL to watch the Sounders. "Streams" aren't really cutting it. I got tickets to the Sounders/Caps game up here on the 19th though!
You gonna be in the away section with us?
All the hate on RSL when he missed calls going both ways? No penalty kick for Espindola. The Olave argument you're making is absurd since he got ball first and was placing his foot to the ground where Cardenas was foolish enough to come in late (no foul on either side let alone a red). Overall it was a dreadful night for the ref, but giving him two teams who previously had 5 reds in two games isn't going to help.
Geeez man, relax. There's no hate. Just my perspective. There's no absurdity to the 2nd sending off. Even the announcers saw and mentioned it. Olave initiates the contact. But like I said, based on what he called earlier in the match, I can see where Gantar called that a late tackle on Cardenas. But on replay, it isn't. One can't expect the referee to see it in slow motion, man. As a referee myself, I might've done the same...so I empathize with him.
But hey, as an RSL supporter, you've got your take on it. And that's fine.
And yes, Gantar was dreadful that night on all aspects. Nothing, no matter how many years you have for experience, can prepare you for your early career as a center in the top-flight of your country's league. Nothing.
I would just like to thank Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for destroying what was once one of the best fanbases in soccer.
It took a lot of effort to fail so spectacularly for 6 straight years straight while still managing to constantly raise ticket prices at the same time.
The city of Toronto tried so hard to love TFC but you made it impossible. All those empty seats and the dead atmosphere is all thanks to you guys at MLSE! Bravo.
Absolutely tragic up there, man. Are you RPB or any other supporter?
