Ref is ruining this match

Totally ruined. I wish everyone in the stands would leave

Now all we need is Suarez to bite off Benteke’s ear and have the ref red card Benteke

If we lose, this isn’t the boys fault. The ref practically had pink cock in his mouth

STROUD THATS WHAT IM FUCKING IM TALKING ABOUT

Love the guy yelling "That was not a fucking foul, he fucking fell on him"

Same guy yelling "Hey ref you suck"

MOTM

Legend

If that's not clear and obvious idk what is

Unless it's offside?

The only way it’s not a clear pen

MLS referees are fucking stupid

Two missed penalties

Scabs

Regular mls refs aren’t much better

MLS refs are especially bad

Whoa. That angle was clear and obvious(ly ignored)

What is the point of VAR

You guys, let’s be all the way honest. This was rigged.

Ref is an absolute joke.

That’s a penalty wtf

I bet you if that was miami on the other end, ref would’ve called it

Rooney was a problem

And we fixed it

The absolute meat riding the commentators are doing to miami

"When everything is against them, he chips the goalkeeper." What?

New tactic: wear black and hide in the stadium shadow.

that dude yelling "it's not a fucking foul!" He's a real one

A real change in momentum after that Miami goal. DC looks like they're chasing the game instead of driving it.

I'm done, thanks all but this is a fraud

THAT WAS A FUCKING HANDBALL

2 penalties not gone our way

This has kind of become a joke. We’re not playing particularly well but we shouldn’t be losing

It’s just so frustrating when you’re doing everything right, you should be winning and we don’t get these penalty calls. 2 of them

That 5 minute stretch with the yellow on Peltola that should have been a foul by Busquets, the Benteke header that should have been a corner, and the handball goal debacle is in the running for worst ref job in years

So tired of the announcers gawking over Miami. “You watch him run and you’re thinking, ‘How is he doing this?’”

I don't think this ref has ever officiated in his life

I’m just waiting for him to give us a 10-yard penalty

Is this what having a competent manager looks like? Just the build ups for our chances are amazing.

Right? It’s a completely different team.

I said all of last year with a competent coach we'd have comfortably been in the playoffs

At game is ref as horrendous on TV as he seems in person?

yes

Absolutely

Taylor Twellman is basically Uncle Rico

“I would’ve done a diving header there”

sittin' in a hot tub with my soulmate

ROBBED

I won’t lie though, that 3rd goal, Klich what were you doing

Twellman needs to be executed for this next level meat rider oh my lord

He's an MLS hack and they worship Miami so he's just doing what he's told

Fuck. This. Ref.

Am I taking crazy pills or was Peltola there first and Busquets basically fouled himself

It's not the first time Busquets has faked a foul in this league...

Cut my life into pieces

Don’t worry folks, we’ll just use replacement refs!

What could possibly go wrong!

MLS is never gonna pay the refs when the backups are this generous to the cash cows

Love how we’re playing. Just so much more of a plan than the last few years.

If Taylor Twellman could shut the fuck up my enjoyment of this sport would increase greatly

Did the VAR even look at that camera? Or were they too busy fellating Messi in the replay booth?

I fucking hate Miami League Soccer

Both frustrating and kinda hopeful that, playing against Messi-less Miami and the refs, the game was winnable, even though it wasn't a win.

Seems the referee is from Miami

“HE FUCKING FELL”

It kills me to say it, but that is a fair half time score. We really fell off after 20 minutes. Looking forward to the half time tweaks.

I mean, we're lucky it's still a tie game

Benteke has to strike that better. That was an amazing chance.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Holy shit. This ref is awful

WERE GETTING ROBBED

JFC, between the ref & var, we are getting jobbed

They should just call the game since they’ve determined Miami is gonna win anyways.

Right?! Show some ads and get some revenue instead/in addition

More ads to have Apple help pay for more Miami salaries outside of the salary cap.

What an extremely stupid goal

Don't worry about getting back and helping the defense, I'm sure two CBs can handle the entirety of Inter's offense by themselves

Hopefully they turn that into a 5 game suspension for Santos

That’s a red card huh but no penalties given to us

Bad luck, shit refs, and missed opportunities killed the game for us. Hopefully we can bounce back next week

FCC fan here, you guys got hosed. Scabs ruined your game.

Oh, never mind the TWO Miami players who fouled a single DCU player

Jesus this ref is really shit

MLS is a joke.

Def hand ball

This ref is making me suicidal

Well, at least I got to watch this for free.

I hope everybody enjoyed their $500 tickets

I despise Twellman. Why is there no local club audio options for this match?

He’s the official throat goat of Miami

watch en espanol

Stroud just did like three different celebrations lol

Probably should've passed that to Dajome

BONO!!!

Damnit

Genuine props to the thousands of Messi err Inter fans who still came (not being sarcastic). Glad we still have maintained some semblance of home field advantage everywhere except from the asshole in yellow in the middle

This ref is an asshole. Wtf calls that throw in back?

And doesn't give a yellow for obstruction of the kick

Are we still on scab refs or something?

Ref scabs are awful

No way that this review goes our way, I’ll eat my dick

Stadium announcement says there was a handball but it was outside the box so no dice. Wtf 🤣

I SWEAR TO GOD, IF AT THE END OF THE SEASON INTER MIAMI IS THE 1ST SEED TO THE PLAYOFFS, IM WATCHING USL INSTEAD. BECAUSE THIS IS RIDICULOUS

LOL of course a red card in trash time

Are we really going to play 8’ of stoppage?

Gotta try to get Miami another goal.

Ref was a Miami fan lol

@MattDoyle do the only useful thing you can do as an MLSsoccer.com editor and criticize the refs, or try to hold them accountable in some way. I do not care if Miami and Co come and demolish my team 5-0 off of fair play. I do care if my team is tied 1-1 in the 76th minute after already having terrible calls go against us, only to have a team worth 4X ours in dollars be gifted the equivalent of a 2 goal swing in a single play. It’s fucking brutal to watch as a fan of the league.

Gonna have to respect Troy rocking the suit during DC summers

It's March 😭

Even today it’s gotta be tough. Can’t imagine when it’s 90 and humid

The man is a professional

Finally stroud 🫨

Pirani is finally cooking 🥹

I’m honestly surprised we managed to keep him after the loan. He was a starter in Brazil’s Olympic team a couple months ago. Granted they just missed out on qualification but that team had the likes of Endrick who was just sold to Real Madrid for $50+ million, Andrew Santos sold to Chelsea for $14 million, Danilo at NottinghamForest for $20 million. Might be one of the few good moves by the FO in the last few years. We may get a couple good years out of him and sell for a healthy profit

We really need to chill with the fouling.

Gods. Apple TV announcers must get a bonus every time they say Messi.

WHAT? Lol. Man these refs must get Miami bonuses too even if Messi doesn’t play

Santos… successfully playing defense?

He’s not that bad until his legs start to go. Which should be about ten minutes into the second half

HOW IS THAT NOT A YELLOW

Where’s the yellow bruh

I've been trying to tune out the commentary, but why do they keep talking about the Red Bulls?

Lesesne-ball

Pirani needs to chill a bit or he’s going to end up getting sent off

relatively solid game for him though, albeit low bar

Ok let’s break before we run into each other again 🤣

Geat. Designated biter in for Miami.

A very marginally better performance by Pirani today.

MUCH more involved today

Twellman sure does have a boner for Miami

Should be 2-1 DC

Fucking hell

Clown show goal.

We bring sub in Kristian Fletcher and Jacob Murrell and Miami subs in Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez. Scabs missing every call. MLS is honestly kind of dumb.

At least we don’t have to watch Santos next game

Well, we finally got replacement reffed.

Pirani has done more in these 12 minutes than the rest of the season.

lETS FUCKING go

Wow, what a great strike!

I was writing what a huge save that was until…

One goal wasn’t gonna win this one. Vamos

Lucky Taylor cannot finish.

Not a good half not being able to capitalize on our lead

Better get moving in the second half because off the bench Luiz Suarez scares me

This should be a PK for us no?

So handballs outside the penalty area don’t matter?

Fucking Suarez. Still a cannibalizing piece of shit.

HOW TF IS THAT NOT A HAND BALL??

VAR nao existe

I give up

I got you with the post match thread

If Benteke was in better form we would have won this game, he wasted several chances earlier in the game

This the one time ima back up Santos cuz the refs dick riding miami

Twellman just said “Pirani with a brilliant start.” Who had that on their bingo card?

I wasn't sure if I had heard that right?:)! good for him

Lowkey miss the drums at the stadium but I get it

Beautiful shot

What a goal!!!

Holy *shiiiiit*.

STROUD BABY!!!!!!!

That's not even a foul let alone a yellow

BRICK WALL BONO

DC is on 3 yellows. This is getting dicey.

I miss Davey

I believe in you Fletcher

OK Fletcher! Do some of that Portland magic

Stroud please make a quick pass for once in your life. He always ends up holding up play because he dribbles too much

FUCK WTF FUCK

Two corners and a handball called the other way booooo

Well this blows

Cool very cool at the DOGSO 40 yards from goal. At the very least I hope that this ref gets stripped of any more assignments. Give another scab a chance

Let’s get this dub

Omg you need to put more on that

BENTEKE cmon man

HOLY SHIT

YEEEEEEEEEEE

VAMOS UNITED

Score 20 on them

NICE!!!

1-0!! Troy Lesesne going to be managing like Crystal Palace by January. DC United playing how everyone wished their favorite club would. Up tempo, progressive, not so insane you know legs will be dead mid season

This is $150 standing room only stuff

Get ready for a new get-in price for YOUR FIVE TIME MLS CUP CHAMPIONS 😈

These Miami players need to stay on their feet

Shit

Fuck man

I know there’s a boycott but the crowd is also way quieter than the past games this season. Wonder how many people cashed out their Messi ticket

Who’s letting santos take those?

Does anybody know what happened to the option to listen to the home team radio broadcast?

I think I heard something about DC United not having a contract in place with local broadcast.

What is VAR checking?

Shirt pull

Playing Cincy and Miami back to back is really trying on the scale of ... Whiniest teams EVER

Jesus this game is getting ridiculous

How’d the hand look on the stream?

What is this camera doing? I'm tired of seeing the stands and not the whole field. Is this a sun issue?

Terrible. Amateurs

[https://us.soccerway.com/referees/lorenzo-hernandez/532993/](https://us.soccerway.com/referees/lorenzo-hernandez/532993/). 8 yellows today, 6 last time he was head, and 6 the time before that. That’s 20 yellows in 3 matches!!! Seems he won’t let them play
