    George Gansner, Former MLS Referee & FIFA Assistant Referee

    Ball Watching hosts, Jake Koenig and Justin Graham, welcome George Gansner to the show as a special guest interview! George was inducted into the STL Soccer Hall of Fame in 2019 after refereeing in the MLS from 1997-2015 and also as a FIFA Assistant Referee from 2002-2014. Today, George continues to mentor young referees in the art of dealing with all of the extenuating situations that accompany the game of soccer along with the proper interpretation of the rules.

    In the interview, George talks about his soccer background and his pathway to becoming a referee, his favorite and worst memories on the field, and his current perspective on the state of refereeing in the MLS. In addition, George answers our listener-submitted questions, including specific review of some controversial calls from CITY games.
