1. PRO PROs in LA
Referee Hilario Grajeda had a shocker of a game on Sunday, to be blunt about it. He missed three clear penalty calls — two for New York, one for LA — and he failed to adequately handle tense and chippy first half situations.
It was sort of a disaster.
Ashley Cole appeared to be okay with officiating, but let's be honest here: Grajeda was bad, and it had a large effect on the game.
Nevertheless, the match proved to be the entertaining spectacle Fox Sports 1 surely was hoping for.
