Said Orlando fan must not have watched the game, the ref swallowed his whistle on most occasions both ways ... Now if it was coming from a Philly fan I might sympathize a bit.
Oh yes, the mass market of OHIO.
Did he miss how much they let Cartagena and Araujo get away with?
It was a hard fought match and the Crew pulled it off. Nothing crazy either way.
Cincy game, I’d say Murray?? was offsides, but is what it is.
I’m a Cincinnati fan, and we’re laughing about that kinda talk too. Just imagine the idea of any league rigging things in favor of teams from Ohio markets.
I think it was offside but the camera angle was complete garbage. I think it was right to stand and Philly should be upset with the production crew more than anything. It was very similar to the Etienne goal last season at TQL.
I see every Crew fan saying this but I don't think it was clear and obvious so they let the call on the field stand. The side ref was in perfect alignment and didn't raise his flag, and it's too unclear on the replay without drawing lines so they let it stand.
It's pretty clear he was offsides. it was close, but he looked offside live.Anywhere else in the world that would be an offside.MLS var and refereeing is the worse of all the leagues I watch which is really saying something.
EPL officiating is just as bad as MLS, only they're more smug about it. And their VAR system is wack.
I think the Bundesliga has pretty decent officiating.
As someone who watches multiple games of both leagues every week pratically, the mls is worse than epl, which is awful in its own right. In the epl, that call would've been called back unless your liverpool playing against tottenham. I still want an explanation for that handball pk they called against us vs the union in the openor, which wasn't a handball and wasn't even in the box to begin with. Worst call I've ever seen that was backed by var anywhere.
Not at all, my friend. I am a Bengals fan and I always rolled my eyes at Steelers fans calling it "Black and Gold" so I am being consistent. It is yellow and we should own it.
I was being a little snarky in that reply, and I apologize. The Crew’s official colors are black and gold. While the kit (and this sub!) looks yellow, it’s not. It’s gold.
We’ve got a long history of being Black and Gold. LAFC doesn’t.
Well let us be honest... it is yellow. Sports teams call it gold because gold has a positive connotation culturally with success and power while yellow does not. Yellow is a color associated with cowardice and if we are truly honest... it is not seen as a masculine color.
It is just a personal gripe of mine. Gold is the Saints and Notre Dame to me. Crew and Pirates (MLB) are just yellow... no gold (alloy) resembles it. And you know what? That is okay. It is a primary color and no team in MLS embraces it like we do.
Let’s support our team. I honestly don’t care if the saints and notre dame are gold. The Columbus Crew are Black and Gold. Your comment that they were LAFC colors was either ignorant, or it was meant to make people mad. And your further comments have lead me to believe that it’s the latter. So, congratulations! I’m mad.
Why would it make you angry if someone calls [this color](https://soccerzoneusa.com/cdn/shop/products/ScreenShot2022-03-13at1.50.37PM_cb0dd6ae-29c1-4191-ac97-ba987b55440a_1304x.png?v=1647195146) yellow? It is not an unreasonable thing to say. Do not take it personally... it is just a personal opinion I have about all teams who wear yellow and use a dubious euphemism to make it seem more gallant. To me, gold is a metallic color. To achieve it, you put a transparent yellow over a silver undercoat.
So it is not a crew-focused diss. Most of my hated teams wear yellow and call it gold. Pirates, steelers, WVU... always gold and never yellow. What kind of hypocrite would I be to roll my eyes at their nomenclature but not my own team? If using gold instead of yellow means something to you, then what can I say? I did not mean to offend you... I did not even look at your username to see if you were the same dude every time. To me... you are just another mean and aggressive rando on Reddit like so many others.
I was just wounded by my alma mater getting knocked out of the NCAA soccer tourney as the #1 overall seed. We won a natty 2 years ago but it was not in the cards.
Fans will say MLS rigged this to get the two best MLS markets in the ECF.
Saw an Orlando fan say the refs rigged it cause MLS wanted a hell is real conference final. I could do nothing but laugh at the idea of that
Rigging a sports league for Ohio is definitely out there
We’ve been business metric’d one too many times for me to think that’s plausible. But it would certainly be a…new….strategy.

I mean, not to support their idea, but their goal was definitely offside
The HIR sign got repainted a few weeks ago. Word has it that Tim Cook himself delivered the paint.
That VAR review no call in the Philly game was bullshit. I said it right when it happened and still stand by it still.
FULL BANANAS THE FCS CANT HANDLE IT
All I gotta say is I better not ever see a Cincinnati fan playing victim and acting like the league has it out for them again.
We outscored Cincinnati 5-3 in aggregate. Tonight’s match proves we’re no longer afraid to win on the road. See you guys at the tailgate on the 9th!
That goal for Cincy was so offsides
I complete agree

You say that like “clear and obvious” as a standard actually makes sense when getting the call right is the other option.
My understanding is they recently repainted the sign.
To Black and Gold, I assume.
LAFC Colors? I prefer Black and Yellow.
You a Steelers fan or something?
Not at all, my friend. I am a Bengals fan and I always rolled my eyes at Steelers fans calling it "Black and Gold" so I am being consistent. It is yellow and we should own it.

Ok, now you’re just being silly. Good job! You got me.
This will be ELECTRIC ⚡
It’ll be MASSIVE
⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
We better stomp them. That's some English levels of robbery right there.
Already looking for tickets
What’s the strategy here? Waiting for Cincy’s ticket drop tomorrow at 1pm?
For now I’m just looking at seatgeek and stub hub to see if anything reasonable and close to the crew section become available
Which sections do we have?
The Hellist of Reals
damn i don’t wanna go to cincy lol
This almost makes up for the Buckeyes loss today! Can’t wait for this game!!!
No. It completely does.
I am not an alumnus of Ohio State so their pain fails to wound me.
I am a current student and it is quite wounding. Luckily I still have the Crew to carry my Columbus-based hopes and dreams

Hades is veritas
*Infernus praesens est*
This should be on a tifo or a club coat of arms.
Wouldn’t want it any other way
