There are some strong paralells. Two sporting directors who have questionable judgment of talent, two managers (for most of the season) who have a "system" they insist on sticking to most of the time, both eschewing width in the offensive zone in favor of penetrating from the top corners, both being stymied by a basic low block.
It's almost like Jesse was... oh that's right, he's a Bob disciple, even before Red Bull.
Shocker.
Totally agree. It felt really amateur out there.
The inconsistencies between different MLS officials is nuts. Nobody could look at Penso and claim he’s calling the game the same way as Elfath and then someone like Villarreal calls in different than those two.
All the good leagues sit down and have the officials standardize how plays are interpreted. Allegedly MLS does the same but I wonder if they didn’t just leave that meeting early and go to the bar to get drunk.

Chris Penso may hold currency with MLS, being one half of PRO's golden couple, husband to Tori Penso, but I think TFC got robbed. By just issuing the Yellow Card, the sitch became clear and obvious; the wrong call was made. And it's starting to feel like it happens frequently to the club. A decision that may have changed the entire complexion and outcome of that match...

Seems TFC/MLSE found responsible for the lack of security for/around visiting CFMTL supporters at this match.

Absolutely agree, how they could walk up there, regardless of who started the altercation is just ridiculous.
