 This team is so drat good at home and so bad on the road. To be a serious contender they're going to have to beat better teams than just DC and NE on the road.

E: The Fire now own the second-longest home win streak in MLS history, tied with the good old Miami Fusion.

Beckham's going to do a pitch invasion at Toyota Park to keep that record intact for his new club.

All Zardes goals should be reviewed, to be honest. Very suspicious.

I mean, he stuck his hand out and made contact with the ball, which directly led to him scoring. Only way it gets more deliberate is to hit the ball in with his hand.

That stuff is still there, but not specifically in regards to scoring/stopping a goal.

Zardes' infraction ticks none of those boxes anyway.

Seemed like he put his hands up to protect himself, and ended up hitting the ball. I agree is was a clear handball, just didn't think it was deliberate.

That's absolutely a penalty, but why does Adi always take so long to shoot the ball? Weirdly it usually still works out.
