Re: “U.S. Soccer Federation disciplines Montreal Impact for actions after match in Cary”

1st: The camera angles provide no chance for you to make a contradiction to the officials calls. The angle is way too poor to make a judgment from these videos. When the ball is played, you can not see any of the defenders or the forward. This angle makes the offside appear to be worse that it likely was, because the optical illusion takes the right defender out of the play.

2nd: just because he appears to be a mile offside does not make it so, many times what happens in a case like this is the defenders step up late against a fast forward, making the gap of apparent offside even more visible. There is a comment on the Youtube page that also makes this point well.

3rd: Watch the players reaction after the goal. Very little protest. What is the first thing they do? Drop their shoulders while facing goal. They don't even look to the assistant to protest, which normally they do immediately. Only well after the goal do you see someone challenge his call, which he clearly addresses with a signal for where the last defender was. The disallowed goal was much closer.

4) David, you seem to say security should have been better? How about the players just behave in a manner that would be acceptable in a workplace or an office? Players shouldn't behave like that ever.
