I just listened to his interview on https://www.newyorkredbulls.com/ - On the record May 18. Klimala said he was ready to go 90 mins and never talked to anyone about not being ready to start or play full 90. It was coach's decision not to start him today. He actually played less minutes than last game, even though he is farther removed from Covid illness. Now, Struber may have been cautious, but I think he also wanted to give Barlow yet another chance. I am not sure it was wise. I hope this idiotic mistake will not be repeated this Sunday. Klimala earned the right to play with his recent performances.

we have 3 games in the next 8 days including knock out USOC game.

https://www.mlssocce...gk-gaga-slonina

100 minute in


i thought PK but ref was closer and didn't even do VAR check.

 

Instant replay says no call incidental both in same space not playing ball

but then again Solina didn't even come close to playing the ball as the defender hit it up in the air.  He didn't knee klimala in the thigh

don't think you are getting that one.

It could have easily been called - Slonina really fucked up there not looking where he was going and only focusing on the ball. Whether he was playing the ball or not, you can't just run over a guy. But by the same token, the contact was not that strong. 50/50 depending on the ref, maybe a bit more towards a no call, but still that's a dangerous moment created by Klimala.

 

I want to see the video at the end where he split 2 defenders with score 2:2. On the spot looks like no pk, but if anyone has it, please post.
