We need this in all the top leagues as well this was fucking sick. Very insightful
insightful*
I could see how it could also be viewed as 'inciteful' also. Especially, when decisions don't go the way of your team. 😂
I fucking love soccer it really has grown on me
@@kani6855 If the love keeps growing you might even end up calling it football
@@Benito264 Ik it just feels weird bc I played American football 😭😭
If you didn’t think refereeing was hard, think again. This gives a perfect example of the constant harassment they receive for the calls they make
Lo malo que no se inglés y no se que dicen los jugadores
@@ocielchvz1479 entonces aprende un poco ingles mi amigo
The one that gets me is 4:33 Nketiah blocks his view of Jesus being fouled, so when Jesus complains at 4:51 all the ref can do is say he didn't see it but that is never good enough for most players
@@eddielorentz8019 le voy a decir a tu mdre que me enseñe inglés 👌😂
@@eddielorentz8019good fella 😊
Ted is one of the most criticized referees in MLS but this video brings to light many of the split-second decisions he must make to keep the game fair. From interviews and articles he’s written it’s clear he cares deeply about the players and the game. Bravo!
I see such content for the first time and can say: this is awesome. We really need to see referee's work behind the scenes to understand how it is important.
It’s awkward that we do not have this in major leagues and competetions. Thank you MLS.
I’m sure it hasn’t come in because of the foul language. However I don’t see why they couldn’t cut them out or bleep them for the highlights
@@georgefirth If theres foul language, then they dont have to share it? MLS obviously filtered this footage to show the best parts. It's still crazy that the big leagues dont have anything like this, even if it's just for camera angles.
if anyone feels the need to have bodycam footage, it's Americans 😂😂😂
@@johnd3124shit cool asf american or not
a bodycam is not needed. a mic or even just the mic in VAR situations would be good.
I can feel the referee's pressure just by looking at this
Yeah it’s crazy
As someone accustomed to rugby refs, I can't believe Benteke got away with that. The way he spoke to the ref was shocking.
He talked absouletly normal
@@laarry3333in football (or soccer how some people call it) this is completely normal. In other sports not. I think football (soccer) should stick more to the rules of those other sports. The disrespect some players carry is just to much.
it is normal (this is controversial obviously) in association football. Sports like Handball would send you off for this.
I’m not sure about any other sports but this is very common verbal abuse from players towards refs, and in lower leagues would get some people sent off, but it’s very common. I’m glad I’m other sports refs actually do send off people for this type of dissent since they only do have two eyes, and one angle, while sometimes they might even be blocked from seeing a foul.
I guess in the NBA refs are a little too ejection ready tho.
Referee career mode in FC24?
I loved Thierry Henry’s idea of adding a ref’s press conference after games when he mentioned it on the cbs ucl show, but this is actually miles better. EPL needs this
Already practice in Bundesliga. It's great
A ref press conference would also be good, better than what we have. Refs can explain there decisions and will help clear up things, will also help stop corruption
@@CheeseBalls100 which is why it probably wont happen in epl. For the last part
Refereeing is one hell of a thing in laliga these days. I'm sick of these VARdrid/VARcelona thing. This could potentially change the game.
Players to ref: "Its a friendly game"
Also players to ref: Lets argue over every single thing we disagree with
This is so true man
Their challenge on the penalty/hand was ridiculous
Their challenge on the penalty/hand was ridiculous
@@jords5324or when the guy shoved nketiah then said “iTss NoT a FoUL”
@@fungusz_4292was kinda funny how he just pushed him and claimed its not a foul
Can we just appreciate how much ref goes thru
I think this is the most I have watched MLS. I would tune in more for this angle alone.
This is what I like about MLS. The Premier league and La liga should also introduce this for big matches.
For every single match.
IFAB Laws of the Game don't allow ref cams in sanctioned games. It's being trialled in a few leagues (including some counties in the lower levels of the FA to try to reduce abuse of referees), so that may change in the future.
@@johnmcgimpsey1825 they have changed the game so much can't just bring this permanently. Like earlier the goalkeepers had the freedom just like the players they could come out of their lines which was taken from them.
Premier lwague has introduced it check their channelswith new castle united...brentford games
Its a trash leagye
Ref cam should be needed in the top 5 leagues to reduce cheating 🔥🔥🔥
Live speaker comm feed needed,
none of that Howard Webb cooked up post-match doctored feed.
how the hell would that reduce cheating lmao
@@plushrocket8140 I think he means match fixing because you can see what they are saying
@@paulie4450 I personally think live feed would be dreadful and would break up / delay the game too much with constant pauses. Just publicise the reasons for certain things after the games finished
Similar to how it works in Rugby would be great
@@maybe2761
I can see why the players were frustrated by VAR in a friendly, but it's worth it when you're recording body cam to give people the refs perspective on those types of situations.
I do wish the Premier League would either do this or play refs audio during live broadcasts like Rugby for more transparency.
We had something like that in Poland. You could hear conversation between players and capitans as well as referees. Totally changes your view on what's happening on the pitch.
love to see how competitive they all are. even tho it's a preseason friendly, both sides are still doing the gamesmanship and fighting hard
When it is their career and a lucrative one at that, there is no such thing as a friendly.
@@EveryTongueShallTell especially for the arsenal players. they gotta prove that they want to play to arteta and they they arent slacking off
Bcz they want to prove burger league 😂
@@EveryTongueShallTellMan of knowledge
Are you an arsenal fan or not
Riqui’s English cracks me up bro the way he said where’s the advantage where’s the advantage 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
His voice😂
His voice sounds like a translated movie.
Sounds like Mickey on crack 😂
@@kevinongora2188 or an 80 year old grandma.
And then when the ref looks back at him complaining and just says, "STOP" 😂😂
Wow, and this is only a friendly! Now imagine how tough it must be refereeing the Champions League Final?? 😯
Oh how much I wish they did referee cam for that.
@@Unknown-zs9ycfifa or uefa wouldn’t allow because of the amount of swearing there would be
0:53 my inner footballer telling me to hit that, then realising I'm watching from the ref's POV
Ikr
SAME LOL
Love this perspective. Shows how much is going on during the game and all the interactions a referee has beyond the whistle!
His runs are like that of a simulated game 😢❤
Seems like the arsenal team is way more respectful to the ref than the mls all star team
@@Tester2404 for them its just an exhibition game and didnt want to try hard
@Tester2404 They are winning so it makes sense
This is so sick! Loved the passion even for a friendly game.
MLS is innovative! Can’t take that from them.
This gives me a whole new appreciation for refs
This isn't new bruh
@@uselessdegenerate7565I haven't seen a POV of a prem or la liga ref before, where can I find one?
4:33 and 4:51 is a perfect example of a player got fouled so he complains, but the ref simply didn't see it because Nketiah was in his line of sight for that split second. This is why EPL has several people operating video review constantly. Refs only have 2 eyes and 1 angle, they will not see things and miss calls. If you expect perfection, then the refs have to get more tools and more help
So true honestly. As a grassroot referee I sometimes miss calls just cause players would be in the way of my view.
yea and that's why people don't get mad at the on pitch referees. people get mad at the referees operating the var system when they get things wrong despite having several technologically advanced tools
The handball at 8:05 is also quite hard to see. He still got it right tho in that case. Just another example I noticed.
GOOD FUCKEN EYE
except that wasn't a foul
All things considered, Uncle did a good job. Yes, at times he was too strict but ultimately the game has rules and they must be enforced regardless if the match is friendly or competitive. Last thing a team in pre season needs is a season ending injury to a player before its on full course
It’s so cool hearing what the players and referee say because when I watched this game on the TV I was wondering what they where saying
This is brilliant, I hope the ref cam becomes more common, It can definitely help when investigating bad calls by referees, also COYG
"You don't have to give out so many yellow cards, it's a friendly" It doesn't matter if it's a friendly or not
It kinda does tbh. You have to feel the flow of the game. A referee has a big impact on the game. How you enforce the rules is up to every individual referee
@@OMGitsjustperfect I agree although my point is that if you made a bad tackle that got you a red card in a big game then it would still be a red card in a friendly. Sure if the severity of the tackle is worse than a yellow but not as bad as a red in a friendly then it would be a yellow, in a big game then it would probably be a red.
@@OMGitsjustperfectI mean.. it was a friendly. Both MLS or Arsenal didn’t want players getting hurt for a meaningless game. Sure they want them to play hard for entertainment but not worth guys getting hurt. Problem with a game with subs like this is he has to calm down the next set of subs 😂
@@OMGitsjustperfect I understand its a friendly but as soon as you become too lenient with cards and enforcing fouls players start testing the limits and going for dirtier tackles. There's no reason players need to be getting injured in a pre-season friendly so its good to enforce consequences for fouls.
it does - it is a glorified training session, every ref knows that the bar for yellow cards is higher in a friendly
3:55 Puig voice is killing me 😭😭
Even having a referee mic'd up would be great these days. It's refreshing to hear the ref in the FWWC matches confirm the result of VAR after they've checked the screens, as an example.
loved the new angle, more leagues should implement this! well done mls
Love these POV videos! Always gives a great perspective of pace and intensity!!
Yeah
Train effective!?
Ain’t no way Train Effective has 2 replies
He didn't do that bad. All the MLS players were just mad because this was their opportunity to prove themselves and they got humbled (partially because they have never played together before)
And because the MLS doesn’t have the talent to compete with a club like Arsenal.
@@bofallhihaj4745more like the All star game doesn’t translate well for how they do it. In other American sports like the MLB, NBA and NHL the all star games are usually two captains from the two best players of the season, and they pick players from other teams and play against each other, so they all haven’t really played with each other and it’s more fair. In the MLS they pick the best players then play against arsenal of all teams. That’s stupid, inter Miami probably would’ve put up a better fight if it was just them.
There’s talented players in the MLS, like top scorers in the top 5 league top players, they just do a stupid game where they take a bunch of players who probably haven’t played with each other besides maybe one or two and put them up against a team that has been playing years together or at least one season.
@@milktea2422 i’ve watched the nba and nfl for 22 years, i know how it works. I also know that it’s an unfair challenge for the MLS allstars, and I agree that Inter Miami would have been a bigger challenge.
But, the MLS AllStars could play together for a year, and they’d still get ran off the pitch. They aren’t as talented, and if they once where, they aren’t that great anymore
@@bofallhihaj4745it’s definitely not a talent thing, in fact MLS usually wins these all star matches
@@olliemcdowell4503 are you saying that the MLS allstars are more talented than Arsenal?
Much more interesting than an actual match... Well done MLS
The ref cam getting that insane Gabriel Jesus goal was crazyyy good.
I bet every every fan of any league around the world especially in Europe would love to see their league do this.
Here in Germany one ref in the Kreisklasse C did this for a few games an oploaded them on YT, but the DFB told him to stop as it's agains Football Rule 5.... aspecially in lower leagues it would be a great tool for the analysis afterwards and a big protection from agressive players, trainers and fans.
Nope, nope I wouldn't.
@@LongPlayPladdeGermany trying to not ruin football challenge (impossible)
oh man this is SO GOOD. i keep forgetting it's the ref - every time the ball pops free i'm like "dude why aren't you running harder to get the ball you're so close"
Ball is lava for the ref 😂
@Mindartcreativity relatable funny joke 💀
They should have the ref cam, for tv and they can switch back and forth, it would make it so much more enjoyable
This is so sick! Loved the passion even for a friendly game.. I can feel the referee's pressure just by looking at this.
MLS is growing, so is their channel. Legendary
Because Of Messi
Its a dead league
The players just need to grow up now. Honestly you see the difference in mentality. MLS want to complain about everything to the ref.
@@Breadatone messi literally just joined it lmao
Arsenal was bitching too. Both sides had crybaby players. If I was ref, I wouldn’t let that slide
love how we can get a perspective of all the arguing
It’s so interesting listening to the referee and player’s conversation
It was an amazing atmosphere, I was sitting with a lot of arsenal fans and it was crazy when they scored. So much fun! Luckily for me there was an intense fan near me and the camera went on me and them twice.
We need this on Premier League refs.
I love how Jesus said why should i go down if they didnt touch me😂 Legends dont dive 4:54
Maybe not legend but good enough so he doesn't have to dive like Neymar, or Grealish😂😂😂
I thought he just slipped. The turf was terrible that day.
and how do you know the turf was terrible hmm?????
Where you at the game or did you play??😂😂😂
@@matthewwright1971 Get a grip, buddy
I watched last year's ref cam and loved it and I love this year's ref cam as well! Brilliant and mesmerizing footage! Thanks MLS!!!
danggg..... Pressure is high, ref's life is not that easy Afterall
Big respect for all honest ref's out there
I've watched the old one with Joe Dickerson 3-4 times, it's so interesting. Glad they produced another.
Same
Same I loved it
it's a great way to experience the game from the field and to know what's going on. too bad we don't see this in europe
This ref really likes his whistle.
Absolutely loved this! Need this in the Prem.
Damn! Making the right decision in split seconds by the Ref is so tough. Great innovation
3:56 Riqui Puig's voice asking for advantage and he seems determined too 😂😂😂😂
10:30 I love gabi 😂😂🤣🤣
4:05 wtf is his voice like that😂🤣
imagine in future all football players will be playing with similar cams, it will be nice to see a new angle during translation
Did he say I thought you were our ref at the end?🤣
He sure did lol
We need ref cam in PL!
Imagine the scenes if Pierluigi Collina had a cam
Rate this. There's a lot of complaining for calls that are there, and it makes me respect referee decisions that much more. Hard to adjudicate at ground level.
This is really giving different perspective in experiencing football/soccer. Great move MLS.
3:55 Riqui puig literally sounds like mickey mouse😭
thanks for the time stamp!
Kaya nonton movie, asik bener asli 😎 SDM-nya memadai. Kalau protes langsung ke wasit, gak langsung kontak fisik, ekspresif dan gak emosi
Really appreciate the Refrees...
They have to be very Present and Alert every SECOND
I don't watch MLS but this is really interesting to hear the players and how they interact with the refs. Should have in epl too
MLS is getting better!
It feels like first person game. Amazing
i would love if every player from every club had cameras like these on the shirts and they could show us on screen from player's view how they score or defend, tackle, save goal and other cool stuff like this
Nice editing, the FP view gives enough context about things on the pitch. Really enjoy the process.
i like the cam and micing the ref.. we should have it in the english
premier league
That view of the first goal was outstanding
Lads, this was an amazing experience. Bring this to all matches!
MLS finally made another Ref Cam video after 11 months the first ref cam was on MLS All-Star vs Liga MX. This is the second time I’m happy the MLS did this again but the Premier League, LaLiga, league 1 and Bundesliga and also the Champions League should also do this in big matches like the Manchester derby and the El Classico.
I really understood how refferee's work difficult is
so this is the feeling when plying football in first person perspective XD
O Jesus falando ingles é o entretenimento puro kk
Verdade kkkk
Riqui puigs voice man😂😂. He sounds like a 5 year old. That was funny
Seeing the best Brazilian striker last year (Gabriel Jesus) and talking to you is a once in a lifetime experienc.
All players and refs should have a mic so we can have a listen to our fav players or interesting moments in the match would be so sick !
4:00 riqui puig sounds so hilarious
exactly what we need in the premier league 👏
Premier league matches have better camera quality
They have them, it’s not released to the public.
Scottish football did this experiment a few years ago.
The constant swearing was deemed unsuitable for TV! (and the referee was swearing as well!)
@@jazzx251 wouldnt expect less coming from scottish football lmao
@@TheLetterK81what
Spectacular! This should be implented in the major leagues
premier league refs need it for sure
Now I value more the job of a ref. Great video
Lol those little conversations makes thís wholesome 😊😊
Gabriel Jesus 🔥🔥🔥
Man you gotta have thick skin to be a ref
This is a perfect example of the constant harassment they receive for the calls they make. But the game's the game
Lol riqui puigs voice caught me off guard xD
really insightful! Great to see the ref's view. But also really interesting to see the communication. Honestly seems a lot more friendly and honest questions than I realised. I just through ref's get agg non-stop whenever players speak.
What amazing goal from Gabrielle Jesus!
Right?
Gabrielle ☠
@@patonholo sorry.
Being a ref is so difficult, every single decision will be contested by players and it gets a little frustrating with the disrespect from some players
Wow this is insightful. I used to think the ref-player conversation was like: “Listen, I am the boss here, you’ll do as I say, I don’t wanna hear a word from you, step back right now”. Turned out to be more end to end that I imagined.
Absolutely wonderful stuff! Need more content like this!
I am a referee for over 20 years and enjoyed this every single moment of this video.
I would love a stabilized version of this
This is sensational
This needs to come to Europe... awesome footage 🙂
This body cam is sick! Bring it more!
What a hard job men... If a player does a mistake, it doesn't matter to much, but if a referee does...
Especially when it's some big match like World cup final or Champions league final. Imagine the pressure
