Utterly ridiculous.
I'm happy we won but for a ref to not know the rules...and he's a two time referee of the year winner

The fact he didn't realise another penalty needed to be taken was *chefs kiss*
Glad Orlando won though, they got gypped for the keeper being sent off. What utterly repugnant refereeing. Hilarious seeing the Orlando manager dancing into the tunnel in sheer delight only having to come out and relive the anxiety again tbh

Oh yes let's not forget that he forgot they can't bring on a sub keeper cos they used all their subs!

Lol yea. I understood why OCSC was confused (the game initially "ended" on a NYCFC miss so the misremembered that they were actually shooting second) but the ref not realizing was ridic. NYCFC having to point at the scoreboard, lol

Having a CB make a game winning save is a new one.
Orlando is selling a special goalkeeper kit for Schlegel now lolol. Took them no time at all

Weird disconnect seeing a lot of people at that game only to go back to Columbus Crew where the stands are empty. Go Florida! You obviously got this!

lol @ all of the articles coming out sharing PRO's defense of the ref clarifying a) why Gallese got a yellow (MLS still using 19/20 rules as season started in 19/20 season) and b) why Rowe couldn't be subbed in. Fair enough on A, but the reason everybody was yelling at how bad the ref was had less to do with his calls and more to do with him seeming not to know any of the rules and going back and forth no less than twice on whether Rowe could come on, or signaling game over at 5-5. his handling of the Rowe situation felt like it took a half hour.

I like Jim Curtin (former Fire player from when I was first getting into following them) and I really hate New England (olde tyme Fire rival from that same era)

That said if Bruce Arena can win with New England, that's a definite accomplishment

i think we coulda taken PHilly too tho
Philly was so bad, very surprising
I think the only team I have left to root for is Minnesota, maybe LAFC if they win tonight

A friend who bets on MLS (lol) pointed out that New England has the best away record in the league, which this year is saying something given the way teams fly in and fly out on the same day

yeah, Orlando's first road game post-restart, they looked completely zonked due to the 4 hour same day bus ride to Miami

Fire preview from the Athletic:
Chicago FireMost important player: Gaston GimenezSeason in a word: “Resignation” -@barker_cmIn my estimation, the most interesting thing about the Chicago Fire is that they have two separate players named “Jhon” on the roster. This team hasn’t qualified for the playoffs since 2017 and haven’t made it out of the first round since 2009. The war heroes that constitute the Chicago Fire fanbase deserve better. It doesn’t matter how good manager Raphael Wicky looks in glasses. It’s time for the Chicago Fire to give everyone reasons to care again. Maybe that’s going to come down to Gimenez at the base of their midfield, or maybe that’s going to be teenager Jhon Jader Duran, “one of the best talents in world football”. I don’t know. But if Chicago can’t compete this year, it might be time for them to reset. Again.

This is damning enough on its own, but the author omits that Duran is too young for an international transfer so he won't actually be able to play this year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
