Video: RBNY v. RSL on MSG
Morning all. I've got something of a busy day today so please don't expect too much. That way if I do post something good it will be really impressive.
So with the bar being so low today, here's MSG's Shep & Steve with the RBNY v. RSL post-mortem; two blown calls by Kevin Stott gives NY three badly needed points and it's all attributed to "professionalism" not luck. These two should go into politics.

I know when I was watching the game I thought Angel fouled. But, when you see the footage where they were heading straight for the camera, it looks to me like a fair charge where Angel threw Olave off balance legitimately.
As far as the second RBNY goal, when Richards struck the ball, there were two RSL players heading away from their goal towards Richards and van den Bergh was heading towards the goal. Just as van den Bergh receives the ball the same two RSL defenders are just slightly farther from the goal, which means that when Richards passed, van den Bergh was not in an offside position. And, even as we see an RSL player behind van den Bergh hold his hand up as if he was a ref, van den Bergh waits until the two defenders that headed towards Richards head back to the goal before he strikes the ball. This, there is no offsides in the play. The only nice thing about playing on a field striped for US football is that you can use the lines help you judge relative positions.
