Houston Dynamo forward Brian Ching has been fined $500 by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for criticising referee through his Twitter account.
Ching didn't play in Houston's 2-1 defeat in Seattle on Saturday because he was on the other side of the country in Foxborough, Mass., playing for the United States at the Gold Cup.
He followed the match live on TV.
The goal by Seattle's Fredy Montero, which appeared to be saved at the goal line with a flying kick by Dynamo defender Mike Chabala, tied the score at 1-1 in the 32nd minute.
Within minutes, Ching tweeted to his 1,800 followers on Twitter: "Ref in Seattle just cheated the Dynamo. What a joke. Not even close. Ref is a cheat."
The next day he apologised, tweeting: "I apologize for the comment which i made in the heat of the moment. Everyone tries their best and mistakes happen."
