Needless to say, the MLS and U.S. Soccer Federation have a problem. The quality and consistency of their officials is lacking and may not be able to be patched up with new “guidelines” and “training seminars”. Once again an MLS match is spoiled by bad officiating and blown calls. This is why NONE of the MLS referees were selected to officiate the 2010 World Cup, not even as Assistant Refs.

If you haven’t seen the call, it came in the 3rd minute of stoppage time (why was their 3 minutes of stoppage time by the way?). Terry Vaughn called the foul against either Alonso Hurtado or Gonzalez, it’s hard to tell because they were both playing legal defense. A Penalty kick was awarded (for the second time) and Cunningham scored. End of game.

Why were none of the US referees selected for the World Cup? Obviously FIFA sees a problem many fans have been seeing for years in the MLS. It’s time for a change in the world of U.S. soccer referees.

I’ll have more on the actual Sounders FC vs FC Dallas game soon… it will focus on the game and not the poor officiating. What did you think of the games officiating and do you think the MLS should fire referees who fail to perform?

   Not the first time Terry Vaughn has gifted a game. The officials make MLS rubbish.
