Has MLS Officiating Gotten THIS Bad...???

((HT: MLS/ESPN/youtube))

Yes, in a way, this is what summer brings to the HQ...

Soccer stories...

There's been a hue and cry these days about the officiating world wide it seems, and this is the most recent example. Real Salt Lake's Nat Borchers was whistled for a controversial breakaway foul on New England's Benny Feilhaber. Borchers was issued a red card for his trouble... and that was only the beginning...

Here's the first instance that put the game on its head...


From there RSL goes down 2-0, but comes back to tie 3-3...

But the officiating got so bad that at one point RSL head coach Jason Kreis even met up with Revs counterpart Steve Nicol about walking... in front of the officials.

The Revs would have their man advantage taken away in the 67th minute when a red was issued for the visitors... but Espindola scored goal six for the 3-3-ending...
