D.C. should have led 1-0. That, boys and girls, is offsides. The ball deflected off Gutierrez and into the net. By definition, the goal should have been disallowed. Not only was Razov offsides, but Gutierrez was offsides.
Baseball umps are off the hook for the moment.
The guy was impenetrable. He's probably the most interesting story on the Chicago team, even better than Coach Bob Bradley, who got the best of his close friend and longtime mentor, Arena. Then this season, he was slated to sit behind Jorge Campos, the acrobatic and world-class goaltender from Mexico. Campos, who wasn't about to sit, left the Fire a couple of weeks ago and returned to his league team in Mexico. I'm disappointed with the controversial calls, but maybe it doesn't make a difference anyway because the Fire played like champions.
