cool

why do you think USL is your ceiling?

For a couple of reasons. One, I just don't think I'll ever be good enough for MLS. But, more practically, I'm on AR track and there a lot of really talented young ARs in the pipeline already. With the way the CBA is about how they trial new folks for MLS (to be fair, I'm not 100% sure how it applies to AR, but I know for Refs PRO only has a handful of "trial" games every year they are allowed), I don't have a shot unless MLS expands to like 40+ teams, and even then I would need to become a USL mainstay very quickly and I suspect my short USL career will be mostly plug-n-play because of the aforementioned big pipeline of really talented folks already there. (This is of course making the assumption that I even get a game at that level. I am pretty confident I'll get a couple, but things change all the time so NPSL may be it).

This is awesome.

what do refs really think of VAR? Is there like political backroom drama over it?

VAR depends on who you talk to. A lot of folks like the idea of it but are skeptical of how it's being implement right now. I mean, if you're in the US, you're seeing two very different standards for VAR between MLS and the World Cup. That is going to lead to a lot of issues for referees domestically when things aren't handled the same way. But the biggest backroom drama in the US high level ranks comes from PRO and the Independent Review Panel (I think it's this one?) that hears appeals for red cards and such. It has a PRO representative on it, so you would expect that when PRO tells the referee "That sendoff was correct, excellent call", that the red card would stand because it has to be unanimous to be overturned. But all the time, PRO tells the ref "good call" and then votes to overturn the card. It makes it really hard to build credibility in that situation.

I for one am glad the ref didn't call a penalty for a player who wanted one because he fell on his own after completely missing his shot

Yeah not a pen at all, felt like a few of the ones prior (the one on Eriksen specifically), probably all can't be waved off.

How much of a disaster were the refs and VAR in the last two games yesterday in a scale of 1-10, where 1 is LOL and 10 is LMAO?

The general consensus is "Man, I am very glad Mark Geiger had the day off". It was not a shining example of refereeing or VAR and highlighted a lot of the flaws in the system.

What the gently caress was Kruse doing following Juric to the same post, that was a loving tap in if he was at all a professional footballer
