I’m not going to sit here and blame the officials for the Seattle Sounders’ latest setback. They had their chances to build on their lead and put themselves in a position where an official’s call could sway the result. But that doesn’t make the double-standard on the penalties any less annoying. MLS officials need to do better, not just in how they manage the calls but in how they communicate them.
