Last Saturday, the Vancouver Whitecaps traveled to Rio Tinto Stadium, to take on Real Salt Lake. While it was not the result the Caps were hoping for, and certainly not the result many fans were predicting, it was not because the referee had a poor game.
Six matches into the season, and the Whitecaps have had their fair share of poorly officiated matches. This isn’t something that is unique to Vancouver however. There have been many dubious calls this season. Touted last season as the aid that would remove bad calls from the game -VAR- has been anything but.
