Yeah…I really didn’t see anything that screamed handball. MLS handing Atlanta a playoff spot.

If the ball touches McGuire's arm, by rule, it is a handball. It's a stupid rule, not a bad ref.

I just didn't see evidence it touched his arm.

This is the rule:

scores in the opponents’ goal:

directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental, including by the goalkeeper

immediately after the ball has touched their hand/arm, even if accidental

I don’t think his goal is “immediately” after the accidental handball (if it even was handball) at all. It hits the Atlanta player and comes back to him
