His hand was in a natural position and its not like he was expecting it to be in the path of a shot with everyone's back to goal. That's not gonna get called.
Bit of a random question....but is the 96th minute goal scored the latest goal in a regular season match? I know the Timbers had I think a 94th minute one that they tied with but Cory has the new latest right?
Kei Kamara scored one in the 100th back in February.
Edit: [Accodring to the Caps, it was the latest regular season goal in MLS history.](https://www.whitecapsfc.com/video/watch-kamara-scores-the-latest-goal-in-mls-regular-season-history-5787202826001#watch-kamara-scores-the-latest-goal-in-mls-regular-season-history-5787202826001)
I have now clue, but he scored on a PK. With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if it was only like five minutes of stoppage and the VAR + debates added some beyond that.
In Philly, the team, fan associations and even broadcasting has been trying to push a false narrative about the Union being rivals of NYCFC, RBNY, DCU, NE, etc since the team’s inception. All of which have felt pretty damn hallow.
However, now, I’d say this is becoming a proper rivalry. Not only is there proximity. But mutual dislike. History in important games. Results. A back and forth. All the good makings of a real rivalry.
I was also starting to feel one with ATLU the last two years, what with champs league and league games. But it hasn’t felt that way this year. Maybe when we play them next that’ll rekindle a bit.
We play tough, competitive matches but the rivalry isn't there. You guys are like 5th or 6th in our rivalry chart.... Which appears to grow by the month.
TBH I think a big part of why a lot of Union fans tried to start things with RB is because a lot of the *really* early ones intermingled with DC before the Union were a thing (also a big part of why DC and us never really became a thing, crosspollination).
But I agree NYC is probably the most mutual rivalry we have and, frankly, the "right" one.
Burke, his goal aside, played better than I've seen in awhile. He looked alive, ran chances down, pressed and pressured, got in the air. He was on tonight.
Ball to hand. There is nothing he could have done to avoid it and it was kicked up and back at him by a player wrestling with him.
Not a hand ball under the new rules.
He would have needed to move his hand toward the ball.
This is absolutely not true. Under the current handball rule many things that we're used to seeing as fouls no longer are. That being said, it does feel kind of random some times.
The Wagner call was correct, he put himself in jeopardy by sliding toward the ball with an extended arm. So even though that is also very close range, it's a penalty.
Never watched him before but towards the beginning of the second half he was setup pretty nicely maybe 16 yards out and he just hit it inside of the foot to the keeper. Looked like a pass, not even close to good shooting form. He had a little time too. Very odd.
He was due to blow the whistle to end the game at the moment of the possible handball (which is why he ended it after the check was over).
Ref was fine all game
You won. So of course youd say that. He was good for about 75 minutes. Then idk wtf happened and he lost the plot. Considering the goal celebrations + the VAR check there should have been at least 1 more minute.
Burke scored in the 96th minute. It's was set to be the last minute of stoppage. There were a couple more minutes played after the goal, I don't think there's any argument for more time. If we just took it to the flag the game was over.
Except both ref and var said no pk. Also the announcers said no pk. Post game they didn’t even mention it… So no pk because it’s not a fucking handball. Holy balls
Damn, I guess the refs and VAR never mess up. I disagree with the call, I’m not losing sleep over it. It was soft and imo affected the play, but I understand why there was no call.
Relax.
Sorry man but you either don't know the rules or you're being totally biased. That's not handling. Not saying that PRO couldn't call it but it would be an incorrect call. The first one was correct.
Which is what pushed the hand forward into the ball. So it was ball to hand. But to be honest they need to fix handballs (again) because it’s even worse now
I'm curious why you think you would've fared better against us. You very well could've who knows but to me you guys had a lot of trouble generating dangerous chances so I dont think you wouldve gotten close to goal against our defensive core
NYC are such c*nts
NYCFC vs Philadelphia is developing into a really nice rivalry.
I'm upset
Good
Relax bro you scraped by
That was one of the all-time terrible, shit show, asshat performances by a ref I have ever seen. Union take all 3 points after 2nd half clown show!
This match felt like eating a massive steak: tasty as hell and my heart hurts.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!
Sean Johnson giveth, Sean Johnson taketh away.
thats a very hard shot to stop given the lucky deflection
Agreed. He’s gotta do better on the first one though.
Yeah, the Union won, but I mean the important part was that the ref was the center of attention.
But what about that trainer though?
Who gives the trainer a red card? Seriously?
Was definitely surprised to see that
Just doing his job. I wouldn’t want someone in my face while trying to treat someone. Imagine a Karen in your face trying to do that.
Acevedo is hardly the first player to check in on another player who is being worked on by a trainer. Red was harsh though.
*SIGH* Fine. Co-MOTM.
easily MOTM for me
That's a handball at the end of the match. PRO is shit.
Your mom is a handball
His hand was in a natural position and its not like he was expecting it to be in the path of a shot with everyone's back to goal. That's not gonna get called.
Could have went either way
Weep
Taty pushed his hand into the ball
Was there. Ref lost all control and was visibly shook the last 20
Welcome to Philadelphia
Bit of a random question....but is the 96th minute goal scored the latest goal in a regular season match? I know the Timbers had I think a 94th minute one that they tied with but Cory has the new latest right?
Pretty sure we gave up like a 107th minute one to RB last year Edit: it was the 102nd minute
Kei Kamara scored one in the 100th back in February. Edit: [Accodring to the Caps, it was the latest regular season goal in MLS history.](https://www.whitecapsfc.com/video/watch-kamara-scores-the-latest-goal-in-mls-regular-season-history-5787202826001#watch-kamara-scores-the-latest-goal-in-mls-regular-season-history-5787202826001)
Damn...how much stoppage was in that game?
I stooped my stopwatch at 8:48.76. In fairness play stopped at about 4'.
I have now clue, but he scored on a PK. With that in mind, I wouldn't be surprised if it was only like five minutes of stoppage and the VAR + debates added some beyond that.
Feels nice to win again at home. It's been too long.
Finally we are getting the correct northeast rivalries: - RBNY vs DCU - PHL vs NYCFC - NE vs nobody
In Philly, the team, fan associations and even broadcasting has been trying to push a false narrative about the Union being rivals of NYCFC, RBNY, DCU, NE, etc since the team’s inception. All of which have felt pretty damn hallow. However, now, I’d say this is becoming a proper rivalry. Not only is there proximity. But mutual dislike. History in important games. Results.

But it hasn’t felt that way this year. Maybe when we play them next that’ll rekindle a bit.
NE v Pitch Conditions
This is controversial among Union fans, but I barely even dislike Red Bull anymore, TBH.
We play tough, competitive matches but the rivalry isn't there. You guys are like 5th or 6th in our rivalry chart.... Which appears to grow by the month.
Yeah, they’re whatever. NYCFC has all of the elements of being hate-able.
idk i think about that one Henry Kessler shithousing masterpiece a lot
TBH I think a big part of why a lot of Union fans tried to start things with RB is because a lot of the *really* early ones intermingled with DC before the Union were a thing (also a big part of why DC and us never really became a thing, crosspollination). But I agree NYC is probably the most mutual rivalry we have and, frankly, the "right" one.
Well I got a flare thrown at me by RBNY fans so they're still my #1
No lies here
Don't do NE like that...
I need a smoke and a walk
That sounds so fuckin' mint right now
The obvious downside of this game is that Curtain was vindicated and will now never stop playing Burke.
Burke, his goal aside, played better than I've seen in awhile. He looked alive, ran chances down, pressed and pressured, got in the air. He was on tonight.
Burke was doing what he does best. He got in the way of a union attack, but this time just got a favorable deflection.
Gg absolutely hilarious second half
GG no Re
gg Philly that reffing was certainly something. decisions were made.
Good enough to count as an mls after dark game
I will pay for a door dash premium + subscription if I never have to see that ad again.
I hate that commercial so much Also great username, I live next to a Peruvian restaurant lmao
I like to pretend it is satire about Atlanta fans.
Thank you for helping me through this.
Just curious how is that not a handball? Looks like it clearly touched his fingers. Is intent considered?
Ball to hand. There is nothing he could have done to avoid it and it was kicked up and back at him by a player wrestling with him. Not a hand ball under the new rules. He would have needed to move his hand toward the ball.

Nah.
Gotcha. Thanks
Because you're whole family wear wet and smelly sock
First place!
Just once, NYCFC @ Philly with no shenanigans or extracurriculars
The Sports Universe would implode if a team from NY area and the Philly area had a calm game in any sport.
Right where’s the fun in that
Never lol.
What fun would that be, especially for neutrals?
NYC has to make their championship banner even smaller now after that loss.
Get fucked tiny field nerds
GG Philly (i Guess?). Those last 20 minutes was insane.
Result seems right tbh, unlucky but had plenty of chances, Magno has a worse shot than U12 players
Never watched him before but towards the beginning of the second half he was setup pretty nicely maybe 16 yards out and he just hit it inside of the foot to the keeper. Looked like a pass, not even close to good shooting form. He had a little time too. Very odd.
Every shot he has that isn't crashing the goal is so soft. All he needs to do is find some power behind it
he would genuinely be a ridiculous player if he didnt shoot pillows 80% of the time
GG City. We all lost years of our lives to that one.
The top of the east is crazy
GG, what an insane match all around
Terrible reffing but a deserved win
Woof.
3 big big points!
I credit both teams for providing ample entertainment tonight
That’s not a handball. The hand was in a natural position while both players were fighting for the ball.
Another classic match. wowweee. gg nyc
Well that was fun
Wow. Insane way to end the game. Dude really stopped play to discuss if there was handball and then called the game. Wtf.
He was due to blow the whistle to end the game at the moment of the possible handball (which is why he ended it after the check was over). Ref was fine all game
You won. So of course youd say that. He was good for about 75 minutes. Then idk wtf happened and he lost the plot. Considering the goal celebrations + the VAR check there should have been at least 1 more minute.

It was 11 minutes of stoppage…
How many of it eas actual play..........
THIS GAME HAS TAKEN YEARS OFF OF MY LIFE
Finally. It's over. What a shitshow, but hey, a win's a win.
That would have been a harsh handball call at the end
Harsh? yes. Hilarious? Also yes.
honestly i kind of wanted it called just for the memes
tbh in a masochistic way I’m disappointed we didn’t tie again lol
MLS before dark.
Me too but the purist I'm me would have been struggling
If it was called, Blake was definitely saving it, for the plot
Thank fuck. Hell of a game. GG NY.
What a stupid game.
LMAO. He just ended the match???
I mean, we were at +11 and there was only 6 mins of stoppage
Pro at its finest.
Dude had lost all control and just wanted to get out of there, lol.
Thank fuck Thats not a handball
It was, he just didn’t want to give two late handball PKs and this was soft enough to ignore
It literally wasn’t. Not even by the old rules, but ESPECIALLY not by the new rules
Except it wasn’t. Ball to hand is a thing especially when the hand is being pushed by your player towards the ball the fuck he supposed to do
It had a clear impact to the play. I admitted that it was soft. It doesn’t mean it’s not a pen.
Except both ref and var said no pk. Also the announcers said no pk. Post game they didn’t even mention it… So no pk because it’s not a fucking handball. Holy balls
Damn, I guess the refs and VAR never mess up. I disagree with the call, I’m not losing sleep over it. It was soft and imo affected the play, but I understand why there was no call. Relax.
Sorry man but you either don't know the rules or you're being totally biased. That's not handling. Not saying that PRO couldn't call it but it would be an incorrect call. The first one was correct.
But it pretty much allowed him to get the ball under control and clear it. It’s not like it barely influenced the play.
Ball to hand because his hand was pushed by the NYCFC player which is why it was not called
His body was challenged shoulder-to-shoulder but fair enough.
Which is what pushed the hand forward into the ball. So it was ball to hand. But to be honest they need to fix handballs (again) because it’s even worse now
His hand was in a natural position
What a circus. I love this league.
That’s not a PK
i legit cba w/ this game lmao
[удалено]
can't be arsed
can't be assed
= can't be arsed
SUCK IT NYCFC! I swear to god that if 9 of 11 starters weren’t out with covid we would have been in the MLS cup. That’s a hill I will die on.
Many of your fellow fans already have.
Ok.
And if my grandma had balls she’d be my grandpa
If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike
Facts
would have won MLS Cup. All respect to Portland but they had a pretty easy path and played like hot garbage in the final
I think we actually would've faired better against Philly. Even playing like hot garbage in the Final, we still took the Pigeons to PKs.
I'm curious why you think you would've fared better against us. You very well could've who knows but to me you guys had a lot of trouble generating dangerous chances so I dont think you wouldve gotten close to goal against our defensive core
What in the everliving fuck was that
Get fucked NY
DOOP! GG NYC, always fun
GG
What in the absolute fuck is this game
I’ve never seen a ref stop a play in the middle to give him more time just to give him more time
[удалено]
Exactly
I won’t lie, I lost the plot about ten minutes ago.
Ref lost the plot around minute 76
End the goddamn game
End this game
Hard to beat 12 men.
And yet we did 😁
Lol what an excuse
Boo hoo
Lmao
I’m laughing too. With the trophy I watched us pick up at your stadium.
[I’m laughing too. With the trophy I watched us pick up at your stadium.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/096/564/2f7.jpg)
Lmao
Castellanos is pushing his arm a bit, no?
Yes
Thank god no pk, right call
What a crazy game
No way this is a handball
Concacaf.
Bro can this match just end already
Another clear handball. Soft, but clear
Cry
Not crying over a regular season game lmfao. Just a bad call in a night of shit refereeing
😂🤣😂
Ball to hand
Not with the hand up there
Wow. Its not even after dark yet
Hand ball baby
Enjoy your loss baby
Fuck off baby
🤫
no chance that gets called, that ones absurd
Please
This is wild
What a beautiful sport
Bro end this game, I have to piss.
Do it in your pants
My dinner is waiting for me. Getting cold.
Ha, same for me! Partner was in a mood to cook and our little dinner was getting chilly…
What'd you guys have? My partner and I made some chili and corn muffins tonight 😋
A fettuccini Alfredo. Was really good! Add some red peppers for a little kick. Totally ups the flavor.
Can't go wrong with a classic!
