And the controversy now starts....

Coach of the Seleção, Luiz Felipe Scolari, was very matter of fact when asked about the incident.

"Júlio plays for which team? Toronto. So the person that needs to speak to him is the manager of Toronto. As I've said to you one hundred times, if I don't have one player, I take another."

I think Cassio is the #1 anyways, and Cesar is the #2.

Wow. He doesn't seem to be taking us too seriously. If he was the starting goalie for QPR, there is no way he would play that game. Very unprofessional.

Hope Nelsen reads him the riot act tomorrow. What the heck is he doing that for with the first game in a week?

you mean the Cassio that has never played for Brazil before?

Did last nights games have replacement refs??

^^Yes. I watched NY v VAN and you couldn't tell the difference imo.

Given how terrible some of the usual MLS refs can be *cough*Toledo*cough* it was a mixed bag I'd say. Some games I thought were actually better reffed, others not so much.
