Blaming the referee for a loss is a pretty weak excuse. Barring gross incompetence, a good team can often overcome a handful of questionable calls. And while the Seattle Sounders have plenty of areas where they can say "we should have done better" in their 2-1 loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps, Mark Geiger's performance deserves a long look from PRO's review board.
The penalty he awarded in the 9th minute was absolutely inexcusable. Christian Bolanos goes down without any contact, clearly tripping himself in the box. No matter, Geiger awarded a penalty.
