Welcome to From The Upper Deck, my blog about RSL and soccer in general. I have a lot of passion for the beautiful game. I am just a fan that likes to sit in the upper deck and take it all in.

A few highlights from Chapman’s profile:

Center Official for Eastern Conference Quarter-Final second leg.

Chapman has the most games (19) in the 2013 season for all MLS referees. This is only his second year as a professional with a total of 30 games.  He has given very few red cards, but is about average for number of yellows given.
Second year official, huge crowd, national broadcast, huge rivalry and big stakes for Supporter’s Shield race a recipe for controversy?  We shall see tonight!
