So, ¿¿¿ Where do we get our 2 points back, when we Don’t make the Play-offs??? It took 5 minutes for Ref to sort it out.. Replay from HQ in NY,(like Baseball) could have cleared up in 10 seconds..Fielhaber Tying Gol was scored in 6th minute of extra time, with us playing a man down AND a additional PK Goal, that should have never been given…So maybe KC makes the Playoffs by 1 point and someone else doesn’t… The whole league is now Screwed Up!!!
