The worst official in American professional sports strikes again...again! Baldomero Toledo single-handedly destroyed what was shaping up to be the most entertaining game in MLS this year. Missed call followed hard upon missed call. True the PK called on Hejduk was probably correct, but multiple hand balls were missed (both outside and inside the box) and all of the missed calls hurt Columbus resulting in officiating that was horribly one-sided. (It doesn't matter what Toledo's intent was, the one-sidedness was the result.)
Now, Salt Lake may have won this game anyway, but I hate the fact we will never know for sure. This isn't a case of a tight game with a lot of close calls where the refs are always dancing on a knife's edge to keep in under control. No! The problem here is Toledo is always nowhere near the play. Obviously the game moves way too fast for him to keep up, and the result is missed call after missed call. The average fan is let praying that the poor officiating will even out over the course of 90 minutes.
Last night it did not even out.
Another game ruined.
