REF CAM | MLS All-Stars vs Arsenal

Experience what it's like to referee the MLS All-Stars against Arsenal!

The REF Cam powered by AT&T 5G allows you to get up close with star players, Christian Benteke, Thiago Almada, Gabriel Jesus and more - running with them on the pitch, arguing calls, and VAR! It doesn’t get any closer than this!

We need this in all the top leagues as well this was fucking sick. Very insightful

[msngrt]

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

[melkoinenveikko]

It’s awkward that we do not have this in major leagues and competetions. Thank you MLS.

[WesMinecraft]

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.

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

[JazzHandsMigee]

Love this perspective. Shows how much is going on during the game and all the interactions a referee has beyond the whistle!

Players to ref: "Its a friendly game"
Also players to ref: Lets argue over every single thing we disagree with

[VinousCC]

4:52 Gabriel Jesus’s “But why should I go down, if they didn’t touch me?” Was so innocent

[lavatr]

Really appreciate the Refrees...
They have to be very Present and Alert every SECOND

[AdityaKumar-egtn]

This is what I like about MLS. The Premier league and La liga should also introduce this for big matches.

[petesmt]

I can feel the referee's pressure just by looking at this

[yangstrr]

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

[irvinquijano]

I am a referee for over 20 years and enjoyed this every single moment of this video.

[RussellMedina-bc]

This is so sick! Loved the passion even for a friendly game.. I can feel the referee's pressure just by looking at this.

[eddielorentz]

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

[meister]

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

[Lunihans_Owner]

Ref cam should be needed in the top 5 leagues to reduce cheating 🔥🔥🔥

[MichaelWalker-wupq]

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!!!

[ThemanbunYT]

He was the ref for the last union mls match he definitely is a good ref i have respect for him but when it comes to the game if you make a bad call your hear it. But this view from his chest is awesome shows us well me how hard he does have to run and he does have a impact on the game
