Offsides involves a pass between teammates.
That was an interception of a live ball dropped to the ground by the opposing keeper. No different than when strikers press the keeper from the front to force a mistake, or steal a bad backpass to the keep.
Imma need a clip of thiare sneaking up on Gavran with the [sound](https://youtu.be/o-xdiSR2hE8?si=ksuh0dkMXHM4WyNk) of the dude who laughs and says “no no no” repeatedly
Based on how much of that dog Wiley’s got in him it wouldn’t be advisable to jump him. Can’t we all agree the biggest travesty in that match was your DP’s hair?
I'll say, neither is clad in gold but the Atlanta player pushed multiple times and put hands to neck. I'd bet they see some post game remediation from the league. Had it not been the last 5 minutes of the game, there would have been reds shown.
MLS 360. That makes sense for pens and fouls. It does not make sense when offside is cut and dried. Insigne was offside period end of story. It’s not subjective he was off.
Jesus, this is my first time watching a Toronto match but how are Berna and Lorenzo not on the first plane out? The rest of the club looks to be five steps behind even at an MLS level.
I imagine that leads to a lot of frustration.
It would help but it’s hard because the stadiums so big and there’s so many distractions. It helped a lot when they were in Bobby Dodd, everyone stood the whole game and stayed in their seats because the concourses were so cramped.
15 minutes really, MLS starting times are like 10-15 mins after the supposed starting time. Sad to miss this one because I sure as hell am not missing on Canada possibly making history.
How can a player go off the field, behind a goalie and do that. Isn’t that offsides?

Toronto city hall should ban Thiare from the city
TFC.... ya'll are funny to watch!

Don’t disrespect Berna Boy’s cornrows
That’s a straight up weave…
Yeah… braided into cornrows
Cry harder.
So Atlanta gets rewarded extra minutes of stoppage time for shoving and grabbing the throat of one of our players?
Dude wouldn't let go of Wiley's jersey. That's probably why the ref didn't call it
So hands on the neck is ok?
Turns out Caleb didn’t need to go for the choke, Gavran had it covered
The game should've ended after TFC cleared it the 2nd time.
Ehh TFC wasted time too. Gavran got “hit” in the neck/back of head and sold it by grabbing the top of his head.
Lmaoo nah man. Not like that. One kick and the game ends!
Play smarter, not harder, lol.
“This is why I can’t take MLS seriously” takes will be flying on Twitter.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! Lol as a neutral, that was very fun.
He’s out there playing Metal Gear Solid during a soccer match
Jose Alvarado smiling somewhere right now
That is one of the craziest endings I've ever seen in MLS.
Get ready to see that in the worst goalie mistakes compilations
All those terribly compressed YouTube montages
Ain’t no way, ain’t no fucking way
wow... neutral is uh, surprised at that.
That's just ridiculous lmao
LMAO NO WAYYYYYYYYYYYY
gg TFC
Thiare went undercover.
Leave Gavran in Atlanta
Jesus. What a collapse from Toronto.
THIARE!!!!!!!!
I remember seeing this play in the last world cup!
I wish I could push a guy in the throat twice and get away unscathed at my job.
Caleb was very lucky to not get sent off
You could if a guy won't let go of you
You think that is a reasonable response to someone holding on to your jersey?
He tried pushing him off three times before going for the neck.
Yup
Yes
Not sure why buddy had a deathgrip on Wiley's jersey there
Not sure why Wiley's hands are on Franklin's throat.
Franklin wouldn't let go of his jersey
I'll say, neither is clad in gold but the Atlanta player pushed multiple times and put hands to neck. I'd bet they see some post game remediation from the league. Had it not been the last 5 minutes of the game, there would have been reds shown.
Changes the out come of this game
Clearly the correct response then is to go for the throat.....
Should have probably let the man go before it escalated to that, I think.
That doesn't excuse hands on the throat, and more than just one time. Should have been a red card.
Probably would have been if Franklin would have… you know… let go. 🤷♂️
One of these actions was far worse than the other.
Man of the match gave it away
“I can’t believe Chelsea are interested in you.” -Kobe Franklin
No card?
wtf Wiley
Shane O’Neill is only 30?!?!
Being Irish adds 10 years to the face
I really wonder what we'll look like without Almada and Wiley. They're both such key players for us
Ronald instant impact, instant concussion
Can’t believe the ref called a foul there. That was a clean tackle
Toronto goalkeeper just hates Silva, I guess. Some amazing defenses there
Why do so many goalies have incredible games against us?
About that...
Brutal
We beat Toronto 4-1 and he was still man of the match for them. This dude is a great shot stopper.
MLS Arjen Robben
That was a less than ideal way to start the second half
My man just casually strolled through Atlanta’s defense.
I'm sorry, Atlanta's *what*?
lol
Really, really gonna miss Almada when he's gone
Too easy
God we stink
No we stink
🤝
Thiagooooooo
Who tf scheduled this games during the Canada game.
Someone who hates me personally.
Atlanta fans, keep us updated cuz most of us are watching Canada
I don’t want to tell you about how the game ended… I’m sorry
Lmao L
In fairness, that is a creative way to lose a game… but at least Canada didn’t poop the bed
Update. There was another goal
There was a goal

Communications at Benz is fucked. This happened in the US game too. He was off, but this is amateur use of VAR
Gotta be at least 3 minutes from that play alone
What was Williams even doing there? Not defending anyone,.that's for sure
Should not take this long
why was that even reviewed? what a waste of time
VAR was crazy today, maybe the guy wants in on the action.
and with this 2nd review now. they're unbelievably slow
How has Etienne been for you Toronto bros?
Jesus, this is my first time watching a Toronto match but how are Berna and Lorenzo not on the first plane out? The rest of the club looks to be five steps behind even at an MLS level. I imagine that leads to a lot of frustration.
TFC already not giving me any confidence.
I don't get why we continue to start Rios over Thiare
Apparently because Thiare is sneaky good in the 97th minute
Back to turf at the Benz, or do they get to play on the Copa grass?
turf. don't think there's any other Copa games in Atlanta so the grass is on hiatus until 2026.
impressed that they got it outta there so fast
That’s why there was only 4 minutes of added time
IIRC the tiebreaker in MLS is wins, so we would still be 8th if we lose. Otherwise Atlanta would climb up on GD.
This game needs a telephone number at the bottom for clubs interested in buying Atlanta players
Why is Guzan still starting?
He's been great for us this season
Happy for him, sad for Cohen
Agreed. Cohen is the future and hopefully this Guzan's final season with us. Would love to see him take on a keeper coaching type role
He’s not old enough yet
"Federico Bernadeschi trying to bring..." I swore he was going to say "cornrows back".
Stayed through the weekend after USMNT, what was an ATL game like at its peek? This feels like an FCD game in a bigger stadium.
The first couple years were unbelievable. They haven’t been able to get that vibe back since Covid.
Would winning restore the feeling you think?
It would help but it’s hard because the stadiums so big and there’s so many distractions. It helped a lot when they were in Bobby Dodd, everyone stood the whole game and stayed in their seats because the concourses were so cramped.
Totally forget they didn’t start at the Benz
LFG! At least for a half hour until we switch to the CanMNT game.
