The simple answer is yes absolutely. But here at MLS Multiplex we looked into the numbers to show why this is true. We already have had 44 games into the 2016 MLS season and sadly for the league the main talking point so far have been the red cards.
16 in total in those 44 matches. “Too many red cards are ruining this game. Seems like a red card every game.” Said Bruce Arena during the press conference after his team, the LA Galaxy, drew 0-0 in Vancouver versus the Whitecaps. On that game, Caps midfielder Matias Laba received a straight red card after a challenge on Mike Magee.
