MLS - areas of "emphasis"

The Referee Store
I totally agree with the idea of clamping down on delaying the restart, is just astounding to me how players are now routinely allowed to delay virtually every free kick with any attacking potential and are allowed to get away with it. There are some games in the Premier League (and other top-level competitions) where if you didn't know better, you would swear that there was absolutely nothing in the law that prohibits such delaying tactics.

I don't like the way the article characterises the changes to the law on DOGSO though, anyone reading that article could easily come away with the misleading impression that all DOGSO offences in the penalty area are now only a yellow card.
