      Was it the Serbian association ultras that the Vice Sports show was about? Those guys were, I believe the kids today are calling it, savage.

        Orange ball alerts have been issued for this weekend for Kansas City, New England, and Minnesota...

        edit: And for the lulz, KC plays Dallas, NE plays Orlando, and MN plays Atlanta.

            because of potential snow the game will be played with an orange ball instead of the typical white ball:

                Basically, it's supposed to snow. When it snows they use a high visibility, bright orange ball instead of the normal white one. It's pretty rare they have to break out the orange ball so it's kind of a big deal.

                Also the three home teams are playing three teams from warm weather places, so that's funny.

                    That seems to be the case.

                    Orlando gets bailed out, instead of playing in the snow without Kaka they'll get good weather and Kaka back.

                        So Liga MX in Mexico had to cancel their matches this week because the referees went on strike.

                        From what I've gathered, not easy considering most of the reports are in Spanish, there were a couple incidents in the midweek Copa MX involving players going after refs and getting physical. One involved a team getting three red cards in quick succession and another was a post game headbutt.

                        There appears to be more going on behind the scenes as the FMF issued lengthy suspensions to the players involved but the referees still walked out. The Mexican league has always been a notorious s***show with the owners, corruption, and draconian player movement rules. It seems the refs are getting high praise for being the ones to actually stand up.

                        Good article on the subject.

                          So here's the 3 red card incident that seems to have pushed the referees to striking: https://streamable.com/2zq7b

                          Quick summary, first guy got his second yellow (rightfully so) for the foul, GK got a second yellow for dissent (the foul is at midfield and he comes all the way out to argue), and the third is for the player giving him the substantial push.

                            Meanwhile in MLS...

                            Watch the whole clip. Officiating is hard, offside in soccer can be tricky, and that is a brilliant call.
