The NFL referee lockout was a disaster and that sport had a ridiculous amount of depth when it comes to officials, this could either force MLS to bring in top foreign officials or there could be some real bad games.
You'll probably see a bit of both. Chemistry / consistency are a big issue for any league but getting people in as short term replacements makes it impossible to manage.Quote:

MLS refs are terrible enough for European newcomers, but how frustrated will someone like Defoe be by MLS REPLACEMENT REFS.

They are bringing in euro refs and EX mls refs so i see no problem.

MLS ref of the year, a decade ago. The complaints back then?
Too slow... And failed fitness test.
Ex MLS refs who were previously dumped for poor performance. Be very scared.Quote:
