Ok good. I have an plasma from a thousand years ago and it's poo poo sometimes.

Also Columbus got robbed for real there. Terrible call. No VAR in MLS?

That was an insanely bad offside call, insanely bad even for MLS referees.

VAR can only rule a goal offside after the fact, not overturn offside on a not-goal.

Also I tuned in just after that happened apparently.

Wow, the worst offside call possible. Two defenders keep the attack onside and his goal gets called back. PRO is bad!

Some random article I found on VAR rules says this:

quote:

Although disallowing a goal via VAR is a simple enough process, awarding a goal that was incorrectly called back is trickier. If a strike is disallowed because of a foul, VAR can be used to correctly give that goal — provided the whistle came after the ball went in the net. The same logic applies to offside, even if the assistant referee's flag was already up when the ball went in.

So because the whistle blew before the ball was in the net, VAR is not applicable.

Wow, is that MLS specific? There's been a lot of VAR calls in Serie A this year and I swear some offside calls have been overturned.

Ah ok, this might've been it. Man that sucks, that was an absurdly bad call.

But wasn't Kamara offside the entire time? I honestly feel like I missed something there.

He can be 50 yards offside in the entire build up as long as he's behind the ball when it's squared to him.

This game's going to end with Twellman strangling a linesman to death, isn't it?

edit: That should probably be a penalty too

I've been wondering if the officiating is what keeps MLS from progressing faster as a league. Tonight it has been shameful, and VAR has been powerless to change it.

Refereeing has been regressing as a whole in the last decade. EPL refereeing has been shockingly bad the last two seasons.

I wonder how much of that might be down to the fact that refereeing for any amount of money seems to be more of a hassle than it's worth anymore, and fewer and fewer people want to do it.
