RIP Soham

Today a very tragic and sad news reached us: our reader and friend Soham has passed away. Our thoughts are with him and his family.

We want to remember him: a very ardent man, with a more than strong passion for refereeing, we can't forget his help for the blog, especially during World Cup. A person with a big passion in his heart. We will remember him forever. May he rest in peace. Please, respect Soham's family privacy by not asking for any details.
