Chavarria's yellow was warranted, but nothing malicious.

I couldn't hear anything specific, but body language indicated he talked himself into the straight red.

Certainly not the way you want to start your season.



He actually fouled my son. It was a foul, but probable did not warrant a yellow. I guess refs need scrimmages too. Not to excuse any verbal expressions at the refs, but I was on the side line pretty close to the play, and didn't hear anything myself.



Fair enough. Your vantage point was obviously superior to mine. Perhaps my explanation was a bit more "diplomatic" than "actual" keeping in mind that this is an exhibition for refs as well.

For the record, unless it's a malcious foul - I'd hope for a successful appeal of a preseason red card.
