No era penal. I’m a Sounders fan and I was in a Sounders bar and the emotions we went through on that last call, well, that was something. But on the second penalty, and even a little bit on the first, I would have been bitching so much if those calls were against my team instead of for it.

Found it interesting I can bet on agentinian sexond division soccer but couldn’t bet on this game on fan duel. Shows Concacaf champions league doesn’t register

Impressed by the fresh cutline on the file photo!

In live action the 2nd penalty indeed looked soft. But the VAR shows the defender kicked Roldan and never made contact with the ball. How is that ever soft? How is that ever not a penalty? If you miss the ball and kick the player it is always a foul. What concept suggests otherwise?

La Galaxy is better than them both, however, they (Seattle) escaped, and deserve to feel alright about that. 2-2

First and third penalties were soft so there was justice in consistency. Second penalty the arm was extended - it's a VAR penalty 100%. Pumas second goal was world class - the cross was epic.

May the 4th in Seattle just may be the most significant club soccer game ever played in the US (perhaps second only to any number of Pele's Cosmo games?). Grant I've got a spare bedroom suite, we would love to host you. ;-)

Seattle outplayed Pumas for large stretches in the game, so as you say the 2-2 was totally deserved, but both pens were soft, especially the second one which I'm surprised was given.
