    Huge appointment for Gil Manzano, I reckon his performance will hugely impact his chances for a EL semifinal because he had a rather average season

      missed PK in 40th minute for handball after the header

      Delete
    2. Euro Soccer Ref21 March 2019 at 12:48

      Indeed, most likely Rebecca lost her focus after the first handball incident.

      The rest was good though - she didn't fall for a dive in another penalty incident, was lenient as the game allowed that and when the atmosphere became hot at the end she issued two yellow cards.

    3. chris bramis21 March 2019 at 12:59

      her view of the incident was pretty clear though, othen than that she was flawless

      Correct:

      KAZ - RUS

      Referee: Slavko Vinčić (SVN)
      AR1: Tomaž Klančnik (SVN)
      AR2: Andraž Kovacic (SVN)
      FO: Rade Obrenovic (SVN)

      WAL - SVK
      Referee: Felix Zwayer (GER)
      AR1: Thorsten Schiffner (GER)
      AR2: Marco Achmüller (GER)
      FO: Marco Fritz (GER)

      A bit of a disappointing appoitment for Vinčić...

      Delete
    2. Referee 1221 March 2019 at 19:43

      Well Kazakhstan won 3-0 against Scotland, maybe not so disappointing match for Vincic. Could be an interesting match...

      Besides, they are neighbouring countries. UEFA tends to appoint better referees for those matches. Remember for example Macedonia-Albania.

      Delete
  5. M24 March 2019 at 17:50

    Maybe Elite referee should have been appointed for Slovenia vs North Macedonia?
    I know they aren't neighboors but we all know that matches between teams from former Yugoslavia tend to be bit emotional and very hard to officiate.

      There were never any tensions between Slovenia and Macedonia in terms if former Yugoslavia history. There were also no tensions in previous four encounters between these two nations.

    2. RikB24 March 2019 at 19:56

      Indeed. No need for that at all. Just like Belarus-Armenia wontw get elite.

  6. chris bramis24 March 2019 at 19:00

    both goals were clear, as far for the injured player, the defender caught him in the heel in the process of running with the ball far away.

  7. Daniel G24 March 2019 at 19:03

    Aranovskyy added one minute, but whistled after 0:36. It looks like he struggles to gain respect from the players, his gestures and body language are weak and unsure.
    The 2nd half gonna be more challenging, wish him not to lose control...

      4 YCs in the first 15 minutes. Sounds like he got his hands full.

  8. Howard Maxi24 March 2019 at 19:06

    The most decisive decision regarding offside was correct. There was a HUN player lying on the ground before Croatia scored, onside. As for 36' this was a missed foul and YC by the team. Otherwise it looked decent from what I have seen, but quite a big mistake.

    No. Please don’t say wrong informations. No handball here. Lot’s of replays seen. Good decision to play on.

      Really? Freeze on 0.15.

      Delete
    2. Referee analyst24 March 2019 at 21:08

      Yes Teo. We saw on French television replays from goal line and it’s more clear that player put his arm to control the ball but just before ball arrived there was a movement to put the ball with chest. In your images we can argue handball and that was my first impression too with his angle but with other replays, it’s more clear. ;)

      not clear handball... play on

    excellent offside by Manzano's AR1, player in an offside position made a basketball screen towards the defender. well prepared the linesman there.

    5 YC after 20 minutes from Estrada Fernsndez in Slovenia - Macedonia. Seems to have a difficult match...

      It wasn't very difficult, but yes, it was difficult :)

      Situation few minutes before the second goal gor GER, when Sane was in an obvious chance to score, was more challenging for AR

    Correct first YC from Gil Manzano to Blind from NED. Dissent by gesture,after previous warnings to him and Van Dijk.

      There were some quite soft foul calls during the first half, including this one.
      Otherwise expected level from Gil Manzano.

    3. Eric van Marwijk24 March 2019 at 23:13

      Stupid foul (push) by Blind, the whistle was correct, and then the gesture off wich you can expect this reaction by a Spanish referee...... just stupid wat he does!

      The yellow card he gave for dissent to Blindt clearly changed the match. He showed he doesn’t approve dissent and that’s how all referees should be. The game became calm.

      He could actually have been a professional athlete, but he decided to focus on refereeing.

    A very strong performance from Felix Zwayer and team in a match that was not easy to referee between Wales and Slovakia. 9 fully justified and correct YCs (2 Wales, 7 Slovakia). Only minor criticism could be a missed caution for SPA? https://streamable.com/hj4lo

      There's a very similar incident in 41' minute for an almost identical foul and attacking break for Wales for which Lobotka is cautioned for SPA: https://streamable.com/552mm

      Yes in that case that's just inconsistency by the ref.

      Thanks for your view Victor, that was the only blemish I could find on a very strong performance from Zwayer

      Delete
    5. usaref25 March 2019 at 17:33

      Perhaps Zwayer deemed neither foul to be SPA, but instead deemed it to be a pattern of similar fouls against #16 of Wales. Therefore, the card was for a type of persistent infringement.
