Ben Jata @Ben_Jata · Eastern Conference teams have only won 9 times on the road vs Western Conference opponents in 2014. <s>#</s>MLS
Well, SKC just got it handed to them by New England. A truly horrible performance by KC's midfield. Not sure a couple of those guys knew what position they were playing. I haven't seen that many random blasts to no one coming from the backs since watching my kids' U9 team. It's funny, apparently SKC made their reputation by controlling possession and pressuring defenses with good spacing. Now? They are the EXACT opposite. Not sure what is going on in KC right now, but it's ugly and it's been this way for several games now. They are NOT a challenger to win the East unless things change drastically.
Of course, maybe I'm overreacting to a truly embarrassing night.

Everybody has a bad day once in awhile....KC has struggled a bit since the All-Star game though....
I see the same ref who lost control of the SKC game last week has botched another game tonight. Gave a red in the first half that was a terrible call. Should have been a yellow, no intent to injure, wasn't late. DCU manager doesn't hold back, and rightfully so, in the interview at the half. This joker ref needs to be sent away. It's amateur hour with him out there.

By the way, if anyone wants proof that the Western conference is superior to the Eastern, just watch this game. NYRB 0 - 0 DCU.
Henry is the only player who seems at all interested in pressuring for a goal. It's gawd-awful soccer. More guys standing around than doing much of anything. I can see why DCU is playing this way with 10 men, but good lord NYRB. You are up a guy and just playing like it's a weekend scrimmage. Either way, it's at least relaxing to watch.

Oddly enough, once everyone got hot and tired, it ended up being a fun last 20 minutes. NYRB won 1-0. I found myself rooting for DCU to hang in there down a man. They made it until the second minute of added time. Great effort in the end. To bad it took these guys 70 minutes to warm up.

Surprised to hear this.....Mark Geiger is a great ref...went as far the WC Qtr Final as you know in Brazil...he is usually spot on with his control of the game...

looks like Geiger was interpreting the new rule...
Brent Bishop @wvlumberjack · 20h <s>@</s>AlexiLalas is spot on. That's how the interpretation is told to refs now. Spikes to the body is a red. Hate it, love it, it's the law

As you know, spikes to the body happen alot, but most are inconsequential or occur by happenstance. I would probably have to agree with Geiger's call in this particular instance. That was a bit on the ugly side. I would have thought yellow until I heard about "the law".
That said, his management of the SKC - Houston game was just terrible, as Barkley would say.
