    2. Jan from DutchReferee.com19 June 2019 at 20:18

      The age limit has been removed officially. Although refs older than 45 can be asked for extra requirements, the age itself is not a reason to stop refereeing for Uefa. In Spain though there is a 45y age limit, so that is why Undiano had to quit. In The Netherlands at national level there have been referees much older than Kuipers and also in England there are referees who are older at national level. Age is not the limit.

    5' correct (delayed) offside flag by AR2.
    A few before, possible YC after a mistake by defender, Treimanis didn't show it, maybe not a 100% clear one.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Chefren19 June 2019 at 20:24

    More or less expected level for Treimanis, hecould have shown more cards, however the only crucial decision was right (offside, AR2).
    Maybe a less "polished" performance than other referees, but still OK.
    An interesting situation to be mentioned is a handball whistled in second half when Spain had a big chance to score on the subsequent free kick (crossbar and ball on the line). I think referee can be backed in this case but maybe more PLAY ON than deliberate.

    Minute 24' in Italy - Poland, play on by Kulbakov following a penalty appeal by Italy. In my opinion it was Italian attacker to create the contact, so play on better solution, maybe even correct decision.
    Indeed VAR supported this choice.

    I must say assistant referees at this tournament are making a very good work about delayed flag, sometimes even unnecessary to wait so much, but what is important is to take correct decision, and now AR2 reported offside to disallow 1-1 by Italy, VAR confirmed.

    Kulbakov facing a challenging second half. Another penalty appeal by Italy, he played on. Still supportable choice. Now a possible RC for SFP, very raised leg hitting opponent, VAR doesn't intervene. Not a 100% clear RC but for me better RC there. Very, very dangerous.

      Agreed with Anonymous. PGMOL's Anglocentric anti-intellectualism is incredibly irritating; they are genuinely convinced that not having On-Field Reviews will ensure a better execution of Video Assistant Refereeing. PGMOL don't care about the referees, only about the "product" of Premier League football, the referees are the 'idiots', and just used as cogs in a larger machine.

      I cannot bare to see officiating in my country be destroyed by this organisation, who have nothing to do with real refereeing.

      Premier League is the best league in the world, with the most average referees ( Old refs still handling derbies in lack of new talents, top position at average ref age amongst other leagues, big gap between the 2 best refs right now (Oliver, Taylor) and the rest).

    7. Matthewch1720 June 2019 at 19:03

      Yeah there will be on-field reviews next season after Riley had a U-turn, but Riley's management and progression of referees is dreadful. Too loyal to referees who aren't up to standard e.g. Mason and Moss in particular but doesn't give referees like Kavanagh and Tierney who are FIFA refs an opportunity of handling a top 6 game, giving them less chances of improving.

      Indeed, and now we must assume, that Kabakov answered "Yes". Then a VAR intervention becomes difficult, because probably the referee would not change his opinion after seeing the pictures.

    64' Good time for first YC (stamping)

    Crucial moments:
    70' Correct decision from AR2 to disallow Denmark goal

    71' Bulgarian whistled a penalty for Austria. Interesting situation. Did Denmark player firstly touchs the ball.

      There are four possibilities, why there was no OFR:
      1. Kabakov saw, that the ball was played
      2. Guida considered it a clear penalty (i.e. no need to discuss it with the referee)
      3. Guida did not see, that the ball was played
      4. Someting went wrong in the VAR process (e.g. communication)

      1) Looks like a penalty, but not completely clear from the shown camera angles.
      2) correct (including the delayed flag)
      3) Clearly wrong: The defender gets the ball first and the attacker is jumping down before the contact.

    2. Euro Soccer Ref21 June 2019 at 19:29

      3) I think the attacker, who still has the big chance to get the ball, tries to jump over the sliding defender who performs extra legs movement that could be classified as trip. Personally, I like the call.

      1) RC would be harsh, YC is the better decision
      2) Probably a missed foul, and started the attacking phase
      3) Probably a missed foul. I am not sure, whether VAR needs to consider it, because it clearly had no influence on the penalty. Maybe a missed YC for DOGSO for the penalty?

      1) Clear RC. VAR should intervene. Serbian player hit the opponent's head! Here's a screenshot of the moment of impact: https://ibb.co/LNXSqRS

      My view

      In favour of RC:
      - player committing foul saw his opponent
      - very high hitting point

      In favour of YC:
      - contact only by side of shoe/leg
      - still not central contact with face

      Other opinions? Could be a quite interesting discussion...

    32' correct delayed offside flag by AR2, a goal scored by Romania was disallowed.
    I must say in both FIFA Women and Under 21 assistant referees wait in all situations, they don't raise flag even when offside is absolutely clear (this was the case).
    This is differently from what we see in Italy, not all the attacking actions are allowed to continue. I can guess that international committees (both UEFA and FIFA) have decide to make it easier (wait in all situations), in order to have zero mistakes.

      I don't think this is true. The issue is that the ARs at tournaments are new to VAR and they are afraid of making mistakes. This delay tactic is brand new to them and they each only have 2-3 matches to attempt it. They are officiating scared.

      In domestic league matches, the ARs have MUCH more training, get used to the tactic very quickly, and their tournament (or career) isn't over if they make a mistake. It's much more comfortable for ARs who have VAR in their domestic leagues.

      I really doubt this FIFA instructed thier ref to delay the flag.

    74': clear penalty to Romania whistled by Ekberg. No need of VAR.

    Very good Serdar today! I don't know if this will allow him to be appointed to KO stage but I would like to see him in another challenging game after ITAESP (approach, control, etc.).

    Very good game from team Gozubuyuk with good VAR team. I watch the full game. This season I saw Gozubuyuk in the Supercup en Cup Final and again 2 excellent performance.

    Good performance by Gozubuyuk this evening, indeed, with one correct decision about a possible penalty for handball (referee was in control, he made clear gestures), VAR confirmed. Arm was close to body.
    As for the rest, mandatory yellow cards correctly issued.

    Easy game, good refereeing by the whole team. I noticed a more positive player interaction today compared to ITA-SPA.
