NWSL Fans Left Baffled As Ref Rewards A Goal With A Corner Kick

While play in the National Women’s Soccer League is some of the best in the world (I’d argue it’s the best league top to bottom), we have to be honest and admit one thing is clearly holding the NWSL back: officiating. The NWSL has far too many mistakes by its referees, made all the worse by the fact there is no VAR (for now).

Gotham FC was the victim of a particularly horrible piece of officiating against Angel City on Sunday, as if the New York/New Jersey club needed any more bad luck this season. 

WTF! Stretcher Guy Enters The Field, Yells At The Ref And Drops Injured Player Before Running Away

Natanael Alves de Andrade never imagined filling in as a stretcher carrier during a Brazilian Serie B league game would make him some sort of viral sensation. And all because of a childish tantrum in which he entered the field, threw the stretcher to the ground, yelled at the ref and dropped an injured player before escaping to the dressing rooms.

Epic? Epic.

Referee In Ecuador Gets Punched After Calling A Last Minute Penalty

It has unfortunately become more common seeing referees around the world be assaulted and harassed for doing nothing less than their job. This time, it happened in Ecuador.

In Saturday’s LigaPro game between Macará and Aucas, Héctor Lautaro Chiriboga, Macará’s goalkeeper coach, punched the referee, Álex Cejas, after he went to the VAR and called a penalty for the visitors in the last minute of the game.

Chiriboga confronted him, got the red, pushed him to the ground, got held back, separated and still thought it was a good idea to punch him. Absolutely deplorable.

Hamburger Player Kicks Opponent In Stomach After Nearly Getting His Shorts Pulled Off — Gets Red Card

Hamburger SV forward Aaron Opoku was sent off during his team’s 2-1 defeat to Darmstadt on Friday after he lashed out at an opponent. 

With his side trailing 2-0 in the 64th minute but up a man, Opoku was starting an attack for Hamburger. Darmstadt’s Fabian Holland couldn’t slow down Opoku and as a last resort he grabbed onto the forward’s shorts and held on for dear life.

Opoku was pissed. Royally pissed. What happened next is a quick lesson on how to get all your teammates to dislike you.

La Liga MX Hizo Lo Que Tenía Que Hacer: Castiga A Árbitro Y Le Borra Roja A Seba Jurado

La comisión disciplinaria de la Liga MX hizo lo que moralmente estaba obligada a hacer y borró la escandalosa tarjeta roja que recibió el arquero Sebastián Jurado en la derrota de Cruz Azul ante Toluca, habilitándolo así para el próximo duelo de La Máquina ante Xolos.

La polémica expulsión del arquero – que significó el penal con que los Diablos Rojos lograron el triunfo en el último minuto de juego – ha estado en el centro del debate. Tanto por lo absurdo de la decisión, como también por ser un ejemplo del mal momento que vive el referato en México y lo mal que se usa el VAR.

Giorgio Chiellini Gave Us His First Shithousery Moment In MLS With Best Handball Of The Year

Defenders have an old saying: "The ball can pass you or the opponent, but never both at the same time." It's a philosophy, a way of life. And Giorgio Chiellini is one of its highest priests.

Everton’s Godfrey Suffers Needless Horror Injury After Referees Fail To See The Ball Clearly Went Out

Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 in the Blues' Premier League opener, however a horrifying Ben Godfrey injury early in the first half dampened the mood in Goodison Park.

In the 18th minute of the game Godfrey had to be stretchered off the field, put on oxygen and taken to the hospital after a terrifying injury to his right ankle while trying to make a tackle on Kai Havertz.

Fans are furious at the linesman for not seeing that the ball had clearly gone out of play moments before the injury.

Coward Soccer Player Arrested After Punching Female Ref In The Face Over A Yellow Card

"I fell and I don't remember anything else. When I got up, I was dizzy and nauseous. Nothing like this has ever happened to me."

The quote belongs to Dalma Cortadi, an Argentinian referee who was brutally attacked by a male player on Sunday during a regional game between Deportivo Independencia and Deportivo Garmense in the city of Tres Arroyos. 

Los Árbitros Mexicanos No Aprenden: Ahora Le Anulan Un Golazo A Alexis Vega

El arbitraje mexicano no pasa por su mejor momento y un nuevo ejemplo de su males lo vivimos en el duelo entre Chivas y León.

El Rebaño recibió a La Fiera con la intención de poder sacar su primera victoria en el Apertura 2022 e irse en calma a disputar el amistoso que tendrá ante Juventus, el sábado 23 de julio en Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, no hubo triunfo ni hubo paz.

La historia en todo caso pudo ser distinta, pero el trabajo arbitral – incluido el VAR – privó al mundo de un fantástico gol de Alexis Vega y a Chivas de esos ansiados tres puntos.

Árbitro De La Liga MX Habría Dicho Que Su Hija Tenía Covid Para Poder Ir A Hacerse Una Lipo

A la interminable lista de errores que cometen semana a semana, los árbitros de la Liga MX tienen ahora un nuevo problema de relaciones públicas expuesto a las masas. Todo por culpa de uno de sus colegiados, quien habría fingido un diagnóstico positivo por Covid-19 al interior de su hogar para poder ir a realizarse un procedimiento estético.

Diego Montaño finge Covid-19 para hacerse una lipo
