Despite originally not having games, I found myself Sunday afternoon at a nearby complex that had a couple of last minute referee cancellations, with two U16B ARs, and a U19G AR. All three were division 1 games that were expected to be pretty competitive, and good games to be a part of.
What wasn’t expected was the 4 red cards that collectively occurred from all of them…
So after stumbling onto an excellent price for Official Sports uniforms at GoalKickSoccer.com, I promised to give a further update about the transaction, since the whole transaction really seemed too good to be true.

My goals, this time around, are to get a post published after every day of games with match incidents and how I felt about them, in conjunction with reviews of referee equipment (that seem to be lacking entirely on the internet), and maybe a case study or two about something that happens in an MLS game.
Here’s to round two.
