That is a pure red card what a joke!
wow. how is that not a red for DOGSO?
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

lol in what league is that not a red card? oh CONCACAF!
CONCACAF rules, OK?
First of all I hate the Impact.
Having said that, what BS was that non-red? A guy with a goal scoring chance pulled down from behind and somehow the punishment is a free kick and a warning?
Oh wait, it's CONCACrap

"Portu" really buddy that's what it's about eh, oh ok.
Wow Impact got CONCACAF'd badly, unbelievable. Officials looked fairly reasonable up until that point.
How that was not a red card is beyond me. Montreal will get their chances on the counter in the second half
Does the same referee go to the next game?
Concacaf should introduce an Orange Card, or "Red Exempt Geography"
The non red card is all about that 105K home advantage.
There is a lot of evidence in this game so far pointing towards a tilted ref and corrution. Oduro has been subject to around 5 late tackes that could have all been yellows. Then there is the clear red. That's a red. If the ref is retained then it's corruption plain and simple. The Ref simply cannot continue to work with that level of incompetence. Expect more of the same in the second half. Soft pentalty, ridiculous red (for montreal) more lazer pointers and maybe some batteries. All the while expect ankle breaking tackles and obvious fouls to go uncalled.
Regardless of the result I hope Klapas calls the region out for the deplorable lazers and the shotty reffing. He's got the balls and he's leading the competition in reds lol.....
Edit my post was off topic.
Anyway I am surprised how well Montreal has played after one half. Though, we did well in our semifinal (first half) a few years ago and then just collapsed.
Well said " POAK 17" great post.
I actually thought the ref had not a bad half, for a CONCACAF ref. Usually those fouls against Oduro are not even called. The DOGSO yellow is cowardice, not corruption.

there it is another clear red. klopas is going to blow up.
And for all those lamenting the fact that there are no Canadians starting well how many Canadians start on the Raptors or the Blue Jays but other fans of these two teams in other cities in Canada don't seem to have a problem with this so why is it in soccer we have a problem when a Canadian team does not field Canadians in their lineup.
the argument is how this would be good for canadian soccer. not basketball, not baseball.
the club gets money, not the country. the club gets prestige, not the country.
i'm all for ANYONE else winning it (be it another MLS team, or another candian team), just not the impact.
i'm not in the place where i can abide by UM02 holding this over our heads for the rest of the time.
they already did that with their sole playoff appearance (which they horribly bombed out of).
keep in mind, this is the same team whose supporters ripped up our seats, stole from our bar owner, and pelted FAMILIES with batteries and coins.
the same team who knowingly and openly wasted time, when they were in last place, just so they could TIE us and keep us out of the playoffs.
