Check out the highlights of the Houston-Dallas game last night.....Dallas forward Andre Rocha got sent off for his theatrical performance in the box in the 80th minute (so did Houston's Eddie Robinson, he got yellow, but it was the second yellow, on the same play)

amazing. I really hope they crack hard. This shit should not be tolerated.
Montreal was fucking unbelieveable the other night, i hope they realize that that shit isnt going to fly in the MLS (if they make it)

It was actually Saragosa that got the yellow for the spat with Robinson in the box. Rocha must have done something that wasn't caught on the cameras like try to punch a dude.

Finally! They put it off for long enough! Teams like D.C. and Columbus will finish at the bottom of the table now, where they belong.

I am a firm believer that bastards who cry on the ground like babies holding their face when they got pushed in the chest should be fined a substantial amount by MLS and should also be suspended from games. I don't care why Rocha go the red, he deserved one for rolling around like a toddler.

After watching the DCU-NE game last night I thought that might be the case.

The officiating needs to be balanced. Not that I expect it to this quality, but the way they call things in Champions league is what they should model after.

No sympathy for divers, but no thuggery either. I don't want to watch 90 minutes of grinder midfield play where every counter attack "accidently" gets taken out by some talentless goon with sloppy challenging.
