Plus: A stoppage-time goalkeeper assist, a level-headed refereeing discussion, and an MLS goodbye to Efrain Alvarez
You’re welcome to share your thoughts in the comments below. Til then, here’s Tom Bogert and editor Alexander Abnos to very briefly discuss:This is a delightful goal, elite recognition and quick play by Sergio Busquets. If SKC fans are mad at anyone, it’s got to be, not the referee. As a neutral, I appreciate that he didn’t delay the restart. I think we should be rewarding quick play and ingenuity like this.
If I was an SKC fan, I’d be livid. Embrace the dark arts. Toss that ball straight up in the air. Hold it behind your back. Pretend you have a big convo with the referee and you have to ignore the Miami players asking for the ball. Literally anything else.I don’t believe you’re actually torn….
That said, I absolutely think the referee Ismael Elfath played a role here that deserves some scrutiny. He’s not waving away Fontas, he turned almost a full 180 degrees to acknowledgewho is protesting the call as well . As best I can tell, it’s not like Elfath is actively waving them away, yelling at them to shut up, or any number of other things we see referees all over the world do on a regular basis. There’s enough there for SKC players to think he’s engaging them.reason for the goal? No.
