James Bridget Gordon: Happy [Tuesday]! We're undefeated in our first two games, we won our home opener, and our midfield is already looking like one of the best in the league. We... we actually look kind of... good??
We're going to pick apart the 2-0 win over RSL in detail but I want to start with the elephant in the room. The referee decision on the first goal -- that Nikolic received a backpass from an RSL player and was thus onside despite being waaaaaay behind the last defender -- has garnered international attention. But more to the point, it was a referee decision that.
