One of the more confusing moments in Sunday’s 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls was the yellow card given to Clint Dempsey. What most fans saw — even those who were watching on TV -- was a cross being played in, the whistle blowing and then play being stopped. A few moments after referee Baldamero Toledo conferred with the fourth official, he gave a yellow card to Clint Dempsey.
Even from the press box, all we saw was a Red Bulls player going down, but not necessarily who made it happen. No replay was shown during the broadcast or in the stadium, leaving us all to guess as to what had happened.
