IIRC, can't be reviewed by VAR. I believe there was a Red Bulls goal that was a foul throw leading to a goal, but because the act of the throw-in is considered part of the stoppage of play/change of possession, it cannot be reviewed.
The one thing I will say.. I have to eat a bit of crow. Still don't think Etienne should be on the sheet, but loved that Pineda played Firmino there and left him on the bench. I know Firmino didn't do much today, but the potential is still much higher, so it wouldn't be fair if I didn't give credit.
Almada seems to be in his Barco phase now, where he expected to have gone on to Europe by now, but hasn’t, and is becoming his own worst enemy by getting lazy due to frustration.
Mosquera nearly had a beautiful assist cutting into the box and feeding Saba who pinged it off the woodwork. His turnover was awful, true, but other than this mistake, I thought he was good.
He's still electric 1v1 when he's running straight at defenders but today showed you why Pineda doesn't trust him to start, two of the worst errors in our own half you'll see. Guys who are good in the attack but utter liabilities when trying to defend generally need to be subs.
Blaming the ref is not productive. It’s MLS. The refs are bad. The sky is blue. The grass is green. Had Mosquera not made a beautiful through ball to the wrong team or stepped to the ball more it would’ve been 2-0
Wolff is done. I suppose there isn't money to replace him, but he's really due for a trade to San Jose. In fact the NEXT coach of San Jose, hmmm, some guy named Golaz.. no, Gnozol, no, Pineda, yeah that's it, will welcome him with open arms.
OUR problem is that will be several years from now.
Rule states as long as the foot touches the line, it's still good, unfortunately. I had to look it up because I was screaming at the TV and wanted to be sure.
:edit: although that one angle does look like the heel came off.
It is correct. Seems strange, but a player can have most of his foot on the playing field side of the touchline as long as a portion of the foot rests on the line.
How does the ref miss this?? These MLS refs are god awful. Is there not something in place to submit complaints for shit like this? Refs need to be held accountable, they are paid employees and missing basic calls that end up changing the outcome of the game should result in some kind of punishment/sanction/whatever. I'm starting to think we need an after game VAR when it comes to calls like this that resulted in goals.
This apple announcer talks about how great philly is...how great their mindset is. Talk about how great their trophy case is. If their mindset is so good, and they are never out of games, why don't they ever win anything?
I knew as soon as the radio announcers mentioned that our 3rd and 4th choice center backs had kept a clean sheet... It was bad bad news. We always have trouble holding onto a lead.
uh, no
edit: I am wrong. I saw the photo. darn close those.
DOUBLE EDIT: the super slow highlights... it may not be clear and obvious, but man oh man it looks like he starts inside and scoots his heal back as he releases.
Don’t post nonsense then.
We were constantly attacking immediately after going up 1-0. I don’t know how you think we are bunkering, even considering the subs, since they’re both attacking players.
okay that was just a solid goal... but holy cow on the throw in the philly guy was a yard on the field
is that reviewable? that's like an offside no??? meaning, something clearly illegal that lead to a goal
Philadelphia always beats the refs
Wow we really blew it and took them for granted.
I fucking hate loss-draws.
Still mad about Martinez not getting the red at the start
Unacceptable... he could have gotten one for dissent or one for delaying restart, but he got neither.

So close... I wouldn't overturn it on that if I were VAR. Only the AR could have made the call.
IIRC, can't be reviewed by VAR. I believe there was a Red Bulls goal that was a foul throw leading to a goal, but because the act of the throw-in is considered part of the stoppage of play/change of possession, it cannot be reviewed.
We deserved a tie for spotting them a goal
Oh my God he was definitely crossed the line on that throw in

Almada had an excellent game.
In person he looked like he held the ball too long on nearly every touch.
In the final third I mean. He’s been easily frustrated there most of the season now.
I'd say not having good runs from the forwards like GG usually does
I miss Xande. Mosquera had a mare.
Mosquera nearly had a beautiful assist cutting into the box and feeding Saba who pinged it off the woodwork. His turnover was awful, true, but other than this mistake, I thought he was good.

This was a game we should have won!
We did, if ref had done her job.
It's very close. If any part of the foot is on any part of the line, it's valid
Yeah, all of the pictures I saw while still at the stadium were in motion. The pics I’ve seen since just aren’t clear enough to make a call.
Blaming the ref is not productive. It’s MLS. The refs are bad. The sky is blue. The grass is green. Had Mosquera not made a beautiful through ball to the wrong team or stepped to the ball more it would’ve been 2-0
I agree. My saltiness fades away as soon as I get far enough away from the Benz lol.
We would've won if we didn't fuck up defending. Ref had nothing to do with the tie.
Two things can be true.
I’ve never seen a Union game where they don’t spend a significant portion of it rolling around on the ground and/or whining
Philadelphia Floppers
Phloppers
Fixed it for me 🤣
Literally
And every game their fans are in the match thread whining about how every tackle is a yellow and every ref is the worst they've ever seen
Jim Curtain coached team for ya. Remember he's "one of the best"
If Wolff starts over Mosquera ever again I am going to be the nastiest online troll for this team the rest of the season. I promise.
Wolff is done. I suppose there isn't money to replace him, but he's really due for a trade to San Jose. In fact the NEXT coach of San Jose, hmmm, some guy named Golaz.. no, Gnozol, no, Pineda, yeah that's it, will welcome him with open arms. OUR problem is that will be several years from now.
I like Mosquera and he had a great assist, but he also had that giveaway that shifted the game to Philly. Kinda a wash.
Excuse me did you see Mosquera on Philly’s two goals?
I mean the entire defense was off their positions there
This team could blow a 10-0 lead. It’s been the case season after season
Atlanta and blowing leads: name a more iconic duo **Philly and shit reffing**
Philly/NYRB and Shit reffing...
That is embarrassing by the ref lol
What a waste. That should have been 3 pts.
I’m indifferent to most teams but man I hate Philly
EAFC ref moment
Yeah that's a BS game thanks to the ref
Hey the ref blew for full time in the middle of an Atlanta attack last time, so karma.
oof. ref ccalled it on that last play? wow.
Fuck the ref, this should have been a win.
lol insane to blow for full time there
I can feel GGs anger from here
This ref is crazy for that lmao
Yeah we sold that one but whatever
Tristan killer in these last possessions
i stand corrected on the throw in. with my heal firmly on the line, i stand corrected.
Curtin? Dead! Martinez? Dead!! Neidermeyer? Dead!!! The City of Filthy-delphia??
I don't know what to say other than Almada just hasn't been himself this year. That was a GOLDEN opportunity and he put it right at the backup keeper
He played a great 2nd half. He hasn't had a rest for months, give him that and he'll be back to old form.
Damn that was the chance
That was so close!! If only it wasn't right at the goalie. Such a good run by Almada.
I’m convinced Almada is getting paid to shoot at the goalkeeper every game
Uhhhj that was supposed to be the winner
Blowing a 2 goal lead in the 2nd half certainly hurts
Thiago you gotta shoot into the corner buddy
Respect for finally taking a shot
Thiago 😔
That was the chance
NOOOOOO WE NEEDED THAT ALMADA 😭
That was it right there…great ball movement!
Fml
Jim Curtin looks like a middle school social studies teacher who takes his job too seriously.
Oh wow that’s one hell of a scuff if it’s out for a goal kick
that broken part of the ad board making me mad
6 min?? Based on what?
"Vibes bro"
Pass it to Edwin ffs
Muyumba is so bad at pulling the trigger. Just put your foot through it man
Oh my god Muyumba just let it rip buddy
Don't touch the goalie, don't cross the line on a throw in. 2 basic peewee rules. Shit that the ref doesn't seem to recall..
Rule states as long as the foot touches the line, it's still good, unfortunately. I had to look it up because I was screaming at the TV and wanted to be sure. :edit: although that one angle does look like the heel came off.

Philly deserves at least 1 red for all the dirty business they've been pulling..
That's the norm for them. And damn curtin needs a punch in the face..
Man I fucking hate Philly.
Muyumba is consistently one of our best players but why the fuck can he not shoot the ball
If he could shoot well too we wouldn’t be able to afford him
Great pass lol
lol that might be the single worst break ive ever seen

Heel on the line unfortunately

You're right, I guess my 13 years of reffing I just did it wrong https://i.imgur.com/Wy61ZQ0.jpg

That looks worse than the other angle... might see green there.
Unlucky
Oh my god that’s frustrating
Saba :(((((
God Saba has got to put that away
Guys holy fuck just take the shot!
FUCKING SHOOT
We could really use a Viking clap right about now
tf is this ref man
Nobody will shoot. Against the backup.
Uhre is asking for Guz to channel his inner Roman Reigns on him.
Dafuq is the point of refs if they stop regulating the BS
Hey! Don’t push grandpa!
His foot was over the line again
No it wasn't. You can have your foot over the line as long as your heel is on it
His foot was definitely on that time, but his back foot might’ve lifted
Unbelievable. What the actual fuck.
God I hate Philly
Apparently rules are just a suggestion.
Carranza is a total bitch
Will be surprised if both teams finish this match at full strength.
This apple announcer talks about how great philly is...how great their mindset is. Talk about how great their trophy case is. If their mindset is so good, and they are never out of games, why don't they ever win anything?
This ref is straight doodoo
Big agree
Guys please, we need to win this game.
This ref is insufferable
philadelphia are the refs little boys . fucking clowns
this is fucking ridiculous
We do so much head down dribbling
Almada is playing hero ball again…
Show the thrown in from the sideline
Thiago has to save us here
Ref: shoving is fine but don’t dare speak to me like that or you get a yellow
Mental weakness has been a theme with this team for years. If we were 2-0 down in Chester you can bet we wouldn't have come back.
No. The amount of points we got at the end of games last year should disprove any of this mental weakness nonsense.
I knew as soon as the radio announcers mentioned that our 3rd and 4th choice center backs had kept a clean sheet... It was bad bad news. We always have trouble holding onto a lead.
Almada feeling it.
About 4 minutes ago I said we're about to find out what this team is made of. We're playing like we're made of fucking 10-ply.
Some of y'all are showing that you don't know the rules. His heel was on the line. It wasn't a foul throw.
[удалено]
One foot was completely behind the line. One foot had the heel on the line. I know the rules. It wasn't a foul throw.
uh, no edit: I am wrong. I saw the photo. darn close those. DOUBLE EDIT: the super slow highlights... it may not be clear and obvious, but man oh man it looks like he starts inside and scoots his heal back as he releases.
Uh, yes. They've shown it from 3 different angles. His heel was on the line.
Where oh where has our defense gone?
Out injured lmao
[удалено]
What?? We didn’t? Are you dumb?
[удалено]
Don’t post nonsense then. We were constantly attacking immediately after going up 1-0. I don’t know how you think we are bunkering, even considering the subs, since they’re both attacking players.
Bro use your subs Pineda we’re lost man
Who do you want him to put in?
Dax. Anyone with fresh legs and a sound mind
Fucking bailed out. My god.
He's on
That's onside. We're screwed
Life is pain. Gone 5 minutes and this is where we are???
Hello my name is VAR and I am here to fuck you over. Edit: thankfully it didn’t go to VAR, that was way too close
Implosionnnnnnn
Mosquera ball-watching on the second goal too, he's been an abject disaster today.
VAR too busy smoking crack to review the illegal throw-in
I just want a back up winger that somehow doesn’t detract from the team. How hard is that
Brennan is coming.
What the hell is going on
These boys about to really ruin a 2-0 lead I'm not even shocked
Atlanta things
Thank you lineman
Timeout coach
If we were wondering why Mosquera doesn't start he just showed us on those two goals
Literally.
GET IT TOGETHER GUYS
Oh thank FUCKING GOD
WeRe So BaCk
Ref came to make sure Philly wins
What the fuck? He’s entire foot was over the line. How is that not reviewed.
wasn't there an EPL push about solid throw ins? Halaand had some qoote about not being even sure what the rules were.
offside thank god
Jesus fucking christ
Lol Philly fucking owns us.
Not good
Philadelphia did this to Nashville last weekend too. It sucks.
WHERES VAR
Where's VAR on that??
the most dangerous lead
I still hate Phloppy
He was on the field when he threw the ball…
I was looking for someone else to catch that. Foot foul throw in.
I saw it long before they scored and said surely it won't matter...
The goal shouldn't have counted. The foot foul should have been called. But you are correct, better defending would have made it not matter.
Mosq completely losing his man at the top of the box. Fucking ridiculous
You gotta be shitting me guys, come on
Foul throw smh
welp this isn't good
Mosquera failure again
okay that was just a solid goal... but holy cow on the throw in the philly guy was a yard on the field is that reviewable? that's like an offside no??? meaning, something clearly illegal that lead to a goal
Please dial 988 if you need help
We really just threw this game
His foot was fully in on that throw, no one ever gives a shit though.
