AR breaks flag

cleats-out lunge (1 foot) over ball - RC - might seem harsh at first, but replay makes it look more appropriate; referee's position was great for seeing this challenge;

You Make The Call - What is the correct restart?

AST leading 2-1; slow as possible in taking FK; triangle play in corner to eat up time; hold in corner to eat up time; referee positioning great for actions in that corner (where the action will be); anticipation is important;

bad call - onside at last touch, but close and fast

slide tackle; gets ball first, then continues slide through body - YC; claims he got all ball, which he did, but then he got all man with his upper body; came in much too fast to control his body;

looks like great tackle - all ball - but look at leg kick out; look at how the tackler's body slides through Blue's "space"; Blue has no place to land, and ends up with ankle injury;

minimal contact; dive into PA; no effort to stay upright; YC;

clean initial tackle of ball - however, look at lift of leg after ball kicked away; judge whole play, not just initial contact with ball or opponent; would you call this?

bridging/undercutting in PA; look at the eyes of the attacker - looks to see where defender is, not where ball is;

kicker taps out; teammate stops ball; kicker runs from over goalline (= from OS position) to kick ball; AR flags; good call; also, AR helps with 10 yards from arc for defenders;

scrapes the shin of an opponent; no foul called at first, but fouled player stops, so everyone stops; AR has pulled a muscle, gets magic spray;

dealing with consecutive fouls/misconduct; foul - referee play advantage and points to player showing he is aware of foul tackle; stops play on second foul; cautions both offenders, pointing to location of misconduct; excellent card mechanics; very understandable gestures;

leaves early on FK; deflection off GoalKeeper; scores; gains an advantage from the OS position; OS negates goal;

Lunges in with both cleats out; traps opponent's foot between legs; lucky only YC;

attacker following ball into goal area; some bump; stops moving feet and falls; YC for attacker;

in own half; excellent example; one-on-one with GK; misses easy shot;

Beasley tackled (looks like foul); not called; Mexico gets ball, Bocanegra gets opponent with hard tackle = enforcer; YC; notice low five with teammate afterwards; call simple fouls first - keep things under control - this referee's risk management choice could have been better;

defender plays back; therefore not OS; referees are not there to protect players from their own mistakes

mutual holding - who do you call it on? Blue (SLV) starts the holding, and they end up pulling each other's jerseys;
