Not sure if this was the best idea. To assign Brych to Switzerland game after THAT wc match
ReplyDeleteI don't think that the problem was with Switzerland. I think the problem was mainly with Serbia. Interesting to see Kassai appointed to. Would that mean that he will also referee a match? Or is he just there to be fourth official in one match?
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see that a Hungarian fourth official is observed by a Hungarian observer....
So the "big guns" are out for the Nations League Finals, I think we should see Cakir too and maybe Mateu?
ReplyDeleteSome appointments for today (Ref, ARs, 4th).
ReplyDelete1.HNL Relegation Playoff
Istra 1961 - HNK Šibenik (1-1), 19:00 CET
Mario Zebec, Ivica Modrić, Vedran Đurak, Marko Matoc
Egyptian Premier League
Haras El Hodood - Zamalek, 21:00 CET
Novak Simović, Bojan Banović, Svetozar Živin, Miloš Đorđić
El-Entag El-Harby - Wadi Degla, 21:00 CET
Balázs Berke, István Albert, Péter Berettyán, Sándor Andó-Szabó
I fully agree, Cakir is also my favourite for this final.
ReplyDeleteFor NED-ENG Mateu or Orsato, I think.
3rd place could go to someone with less VAR experience like Hategan - or Kassai, if the 4th official appointment means something.

ReplyDeleteInteresting interview released by Rocchi to Sky Sport Italy after having officiated Europa League final.
He is very satisfied with the game in Baku, he thanked AIA, UEFA and FIFA for this opportunity. It was wonderful for him to officiate an English derby, it was a dream. Players were very fair, and focused on play, this was appreciated. He loves English football for that.
A special mention for Irrati, he was very confident on the game also because he had one among the best VAR ever behind the monitor, a cooperation (Rocchi - Irrati) started almost 2 years ago.
He is happy VAR didn't intervene in the game.
Some words about polemics in Italy due to VAR use, but Rocchi says he is very happy with VAR and he wouldn't renounce to that.
Italy will have for next season a central room (VOR) for VAR, close to Rocchi's house, in Florence. He is satisfied and he thinks that referees working as VAR will be more expert.
Final words about the next year: it depends on the decision by committee, of course, but he can't imagine himself for now in a different role than referee, and if he finds motivations, as it was for now, he will continue.
In other words: quite sure he will get a derogation for next season, it seems he already talked with Rizzoli about that.
Basically, nothing really interesting for us, as it mostly explains how VAR works.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if Referees appointed for Nation League final stage will stay in Portugal OR will travel only for the match ?
ReplyDeleteIn the 1st case Kassai could be an option for 3/4th place match and Brych could be 4th official for final match.
The official document from IFAB about the changes with some clips illustrating them (in order to watch them you need to download the document and open it by Acrobat Reader)
ReplyDeletehttp://static-3eb8.kxcdn.com/documents/802/132814_310519_LotG_19_20_v4.pdf
Looking at the handball clips where the ball is first played and then bounces on the arm where IFAB says ''play on''. I like that. But I am sure it will not be enforced correctly at lower levels.
DeletePlease I am very,worried about the Nederland vs England game...
ReplyDeleteBych can't ref because he his from Ned...
Lahoz just finished an fourth official appointment last week...
Same to rocchi and osatto...
So I don't think uefa will call this 3 refs because of this...
I 100% think that cakir will be in charge of the final...
So cakir will be drop for the game....
And uefa need big names to ref this match...
Am confuse who will ref the match...
Maybe uefa will consider lahoz or osatto,because of last week fourth official appointment....
And I also think tupin could be in charge of it....
Turpin is in France for the Women World cup, he can't be in Portugal.
DeleteOk after this who do you think...
DeleteI think Cakir, Orsato and Mateu for the other semi-final, 3rd place and final.
DeleteDon't worry if Bych is from the Nederland, Osatto and Tupin are not, so no problems there. #omg
DeleteSo who is this Dutch referee Bych? Is he any good? ;)
DeleteHe must be good and "invisible", never heard of any controversies from him ;)
DeleteOff point...
ReplyDeleteI think Michael oliver is the best referee in the Fifa u20 tournament...
100% penalty call in this tournament so far no need of Var intervention...
100% foul call and cards given...
I think maybe he his too big for this tournament...
Maybe FIFA test him with var for this small tournament...😂😂😂
Turpin should be busy in France for FIFA women world cup. Why can he travel to Portugal?
ReplyDeleteThe tournament in France will start on 7 June.... I don't see this big problem if Turpin officiates a game in Portugal on 6 June.
DeleteI though that all referees appointed for FIFA world cup need to gather in advance, make fitness and training class all together some days before. Especially for VAR, which should be the first time used in the female competition; Turpin should make exercise to properly communicate and practice with their women colleagues on the pitch. Anyway, no big problem. The point is that there are referees who are over appointed and some others who are almost forgotten. I.E. Collum and Hategan would have fit nation league semifinals, or on the other hands, Marciniak or Rainville could have replaced Turpin as VAR at WC
DeleteWell, you are right under this point of view, management could be surely better. Referees attending FIFA tournaments are called by UEFA for other games. Difficult to plan everything but surely some Elite referees are not considered like other ones.
DeleteIt seems that Uefa and Fifa don't speak between them and work without any co-operation and synergy. They have same countryman chief...
ReplyDeleteThird place: UEFA Delegate: Eduard Dervishaj (ESP)
ReplyDeleteFinal: UEFA Delegate: Jozef Kliment (SVK)
The ref observer-Roger Gifford-used to ref in Premier League for years. An excellent ref. What is the point of being appointed on a game England involved? Completely pointless..
DeleteI do not understand why is it such a problem that observer is from Wales in England's match. He is observing referees not teams? Moreover in youth league matches UEFA usually appoints observers from host country.
DeleteThose are some sharp looking Macron referee kits. It brings a breath of fresh air to what had become stale and bland.
ReplyDeleteWe forgot to mention that with this game, Brych meets again Cristiano Ronaldo after Valencia - Juventus in CL group stage.
ReplyDeleteFelix Brych allowing a very physical game early on. Very physical I must say
ReplyDelete9': this can be RC for SFP. What a mistake to miss YC!
ReplyDeleteI thought this is a red card as soon as I saw the replay and wouldn't mind a VAR intervention??
DeleteDark YC missed by Brych!
ReplyDeleteOrange tackle there
ReplyDeleteNow another missed YC. Really don't understand Brych approach today.
ReplyDeletehe went for the 1 and 1 tactic
Delete1 and 1 = 2 missed cautions
DeleteAnd again possible YC not given this time in favour of the Swiss. So Brych is „balanced“ now and can/should give a card soon
ReplyDeleteUnlike brych early on. The one I know would have given 2 yellow cards maybe this is the brych of Netherlands we were speaking of
ReplyDelete*sigh* I fear we are fools to watch an international match nowadays and expect to see a good disciplinary control. Two mandatory cards missed, maybe even a red one.
ReplyDeleteCan't say that their isn't consistency. The worldwide practice to refuse to show early 1st half cautions. Sad that a referee like Brych has been infected by this disease. He used to be a referee who didn't think twice about showing early cards.
ReplyDelete100% agree. I was never a fan of him, but at least he could be trusted in the disciplinary department. Not anymore for a few months now, this is just further, rather shocking proof.
DeleteI feel that we must resign ourselves and begrudgingly accept that this is the new terrible "norm". Because men and women who supposedly know more than me about officiating football matches have decided that this is the best way to do it. A return to late 80's early 90's brutal and thuggish football ruled by goons and not the talented ones.
DeleteI think you can't compare first and second missed YC. The first one is more red, to be issued in any case, it is big mistake according to UEFA RAPs to miss this card. I think Brych didn't have an exact perception of the incident, but at the same time I must say VAR could be right in being silent because not a 100% clear RC.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree.
DeleteAfter borderline RC foul by Bruno Fernandes, now a rough tactical foul. Still no card.
ReplyDeleteIt's still the 1st half. Cards stay in the dressing room. He'll have them in the 2nd half though ;)
DeleteSo, who is expected for the final and 3rd place match?
ReplyDeleteAll I can say, is that I don't want to read any more complaints in regards to lack of cards by any referee at the U-20 World Cup. No matter what country that referee is from.
ReplyDeleteYour opinions - foul? I think yes definitely but commentators don't think so
ReplyDeleteFor me as well. You can‘t jump into an opponent even if you touch the ball
DeleteRight.
DeleteWhat do you think? Foul or not before the goal? For me yes, but Swiss commentator is quite angry...
ReplyDeleteYeah, my country's commentator says 50-50. But my experience tells that you can't trust commentators.
DeleteEspecially not if they are not neutral like in my case ;)
DeleteCommentators here are neutral (1 Chilean, 1 Argentine). They both said no foul. Swiss player cleanly won the ball first.
DeleteHaha, sometimes you just want to laugh when a commentator, knowing nothing about VAR, wants a referee to make an on-field review for a fregular offside incident that affects his team.;)
DeleteThen, I ask myself what information they get and if they read them...
DeleteBtw Swiss commentator is still fuming about the freekick decision even 20 minutes after
It is annoying how they are talking like 'the experts' that know everything better than the referees. Maybe they should first read the LotG and VAR protocol? xD
DeleteWhat's the point of commentators reading the LoTG? If "Modern" referee's choose to not use them anyways.
DeleteAnd I don't blame the Swiss commentators either. As it was a clean tackle. The Swiss player wins the first and then Ronaldo simply falls over the Swiss player.
Was it a foul prior to the goal? I think it was a fair tackle
ReplyDeleteClean tackle IMO. Contact was made with the ball first, then Ronaldo goes over the Swiss player. Brych decision directly affects the scoreline.
ReplyDeleteIMO Bryce is a bit overestimated referee but that foul decision was correct IMO.
ReplyDeleteImo he was right but his precedence of allowing physical game will defineyly count against
ReplyDeleteNo PK there. VAR correctly declines to intervene. What's worryingly is how badly out of position that play caught Brych. He passively stood there waving his hand as the ball was played forward. He never reacted.
ReplyDeleteAgree here. I want to compare Brych with Guerrero Ramirez. Both of them haven't got a good disciplinary control (Brych had at times but not anymore) but Ramirez at least looks super motivated to be as close as possible to where he has to be. Brych don't.
DeleteGuerrero in FIFA Competitions becomes what the Ref Comm wants him to become. Guerrero on a weekly basis in Liga MX is not the referee we've seen in Poland. The FIFA Ref Comm seems to intentionally go out of its way to ruin good referee's.
DeleteOK, Brych has not been good so far. But he performed well for the last years in some difficult games as well. Why can‘t he have one bad game (or maybe even just one bad half)? Plus, Brych‘s disciplinary control has always been one of the best under the UEFA referees and to say it‘s not good seems unfair to me.
DeleteThat's the core of the problem with most if not all Ref Comm's. They allow "big name" referee's to simply get by based on past glories and not current form. They continue to receive high profile assignments regardless of having poor performances. No accountability and unlike CAF no consequences.
DeleteIMO Brych is not the same ref he was 2-3 years ago,when every YC foul he would gave YC like it's nothing.
ReplyDeleteThis year in particular he manages game to show less cards,more talking like other top refs(Cakir,Kuipers),which he for sure is,but in past he had hand in his pocket way more.
Looks like that's changed.
Regarding disciplinary, IMO referees shouldn't communicate with players too, too much. If they don't know the laws, they don't. If they know them but violate them due to adrenaline, that will not change. Explaining every decision, saying 'calm down', shouting at them won't help. Cards will.
DeleteAgree on every single word. IMO Cakir is the best referee and Ref545 is the best commentator out here.;)
ReplyDeleteWell,he achieved most of goals for referees so I can see that.
ReplyDeleteI can remember his Barcelona -Atletico match where we could see him fully motivated,being alert and brandishing yellows like it is nothing.
But as a referee you have to bee motivated all the time. Motivation can't come and go away.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean?
DeleteYou're right what a mess!
DeleteI don't understand what is doing Brych there with that finger in front of VAR monitor.
ReplyDeletehe shows that he checks the first penalty incident
DeleteHe's indicating that he's reviewing the 1st PK incident
DeleteThat is really informative and useful for the public. Good idea.
DeleteWhy should he do that?
DeleteIf you no longer have the motivation. Retire.
ReplyDeleteOuh, what a chaos here. Was that really a mistake by Brych? Not so sure
ReplyDeleteWow.Just wow.
ReplyDeleteIMO, neither of the 2 incidents were PK's.
ReplyDeleteBut the second one would have been supportable at least IMO. So correct would have been no VAR intervention at all
DeleteWell u have to give one lol. The first was a penalty. A clip on his ankle
DeleteAs some on this blog would say. Was there really "enough" there? Enough to merit VAR intervention?
DeleteIn my opinion never a clear mistake the first penalty and so I think wrong review. It is easy to say that RC at the beginning of the game was more clear mistake than this very soft penalty, but well... overall not a good game for Brych today, he looks very, very unsure.
ReplyDeleteI like the German referees in general, but the cannot use VAR properly I‘m sorry...
DeleteRight, after the review he looked extremely unsure.
DeleteNow Chefren we must understand what is clear and obvious. VAR would ask are u aware there was a clip and brych reply would have caused the FOR.
DeleteWith that it is left for Brych to decide whether it was enough to warrant a penalty because dingert surely will say it was a penalty to him
DeleteThere are 4 possible arguments for the OFR:
Delete1. Brych immediately had doubts and asked for the VAR check (hand to ear gesture). So maybe he wanted to see the situation again anyway
2. Brych probably missed the leg contact, so it falls in the "missed incident" category
3. With the penalty on the other side and the game situation, the decision got double importance. Maybe one wants to take the referee and not the VAR to take such important decisions in general
4. Brych changed his decision after the OFR - that is somehow a justification afterwards
Then there is the big argument against it, that it was not a clear and obvious mistake.
Probably a matter of opinion, which arguments are more convincing.
Brych's decision would possibly be more believable and supportable if he'd be having a better match. When you've been under par for the majority of the match. Your decisions lose credibility and acceptance.
Delete@Philipp point 3 in my opinion should never exist :)
DeleteNearly impossible to spot live, but the Portuguese defender touches the Swiss leg, which causes the Swiss to hit his other leg and fall. Definitely supportable if it had been called initially but doubts about it being a clear error
ReplyDeleteWell, what has just happened shows the problem of German referees with VAR with respect to the standard in other leagues. Their threshold is so low that they invite the referee to review non-existent penalties or very soft touches (also in UCL). This also makes one wonder what was the problem with having referees in whose countries there is no VAR in UCL if there is not uniformity among the others anyway…
ReplyDeleteTheir threshold is only low if the referee did not see the incident which was the case here. The problem is that with this approach non-clear mistakes are corrected while UEFA only suggests an OFR after an obvious mistake.
DeleteStill, that reason is not applied in other leagues or refereeing teams from other countries. For sure in Spain, and the impression I have is that Italy is similar to Spain.
DeleteI don‘t understand why there are different methods. I don‘t care which one is used but it would be so much easier to be consistent throughout Europe and the world
DeleteYes in Italy it is the same like Spain, that's why I don't consider the first penalty as VAR material. There isn't at least consistency, an Italian VAR would not call referee there.
DeleteExcellent spot by Dingert and Stieler. Everybody was looking for possible holding but it's a clear careless leg contact there. Well done!
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteI can only repeat your words, excellent intervention!!
VAR can only deal with facts, and this was an OBJECTIVE penalty. SUI player was only interested to run for the ball and he was tripped. The term 'clear and obvious' is misunderstood by many readers, I think.
Here's the clip btw: https://streamable.com/jsetx
DeleteI don't think, this is an objective or factual decision, because it still needs the interpretation of the referee, whether the contact is the reason for the fall of the Swiss player. The fact, that there is a contact is not sufficient for a penalty decision IMO.
DeleteFor me a "clear and obvious" mistake means, that the decision was wrong in the opinion of nearly everyone, who has sufficient knowledge about refereeing. I am not sure, whether this is the case here.
if missing a clear leg contact between a defender and an attacker that results in the attacker's leg making contact with the other leg (what directly leads to attacker's fall) isn't a clear and obvious mistake, I'm lost
DeleteReally am lost for words. There was a clear trip there and sufficient for foul anywere on the pitch but when it comes to the penalty we begin to shy away. That was worthy of an intervention at least it's obvious there was a clip. If we keep shouting clear and obvious then why are done decisions not given after OFR. That s because of perception.
DeleteMy opinion. Brych has certainly rated only the thing above. The light contact below is barely perceptible. This at least explains why the VA then intervenes because Brych had no perception of the lower contact.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI am watching and watching and I still can not see that first trip. All I can see is that SUI player tripped himself.
DeleteRegarding yesterday's incident, my opinion: OFR was more or less correct as video match officials spotted a contact (yes, there was a very small contact - Swiss foot touches Potugeese knee) that Brych didn't spot (missed incident). But what was totally incorect, is the final decision. That was no way a penalty. If such "touches" would be whisled as fouls, we would have more that triple as many fouls in a game than now. The Swiss player is raising his leg at it hits the Portugeese knee. I think the wrong decision was, in one way, a result of Brych's unmotivated approach to the game and, more importantly, lack of concentration, cofidence and self-awarness that we could see during the review (the extremely strange indication with his finger, having a quick view at the field of play) and in the whole match (he is shouting a lot; Cakir is a great example of a cool-headed referee - no shouting at all from him, much better managment). Brych is a bit overestimated referee IMO.
DeleteAs I read through the comments I realize something. The same type of foul where most would say "too soft" and excuse a referee from whistling a PK. In this case becomes a must whistle incident. I've long said that there is no such thing as a small foul or big foul. Fouls are just that, fouls. An opinion that has long been brushed off. Each and every time you flip flop on this issue. Your comments and persona lose credibility.
DeleteOK, I can say it in a shorter way. There was no foul at all.
Delete65 minute aaaaaaand finally the first caution. Followed by a verbal "fuck off" from the Swiss pllayer towards Brych. Nice ;)
ReplyDeleteYou saying that with sarcasm, right? :)
DeleteThe Swiss player said it. The TV cameras caught him saying it. It shows how little respect or care the Swiss player had for the caution and Brych
DeleteSorry, I replied the wrong comment, I meant the next one. Regarding this one - yeah, that just shows how you can get a game out of your control by not showing cards.
DeleteI'm sorry but if you give a caution and a player tells you to 'fuck off' should you not be giving them a second yellow and red?
DeleteIMO, "fuck off" is foul and abusive language. And it can very easily be a straight red card offense
DeleteHow on earth was that a yellow card (the first one), but the possible red card in first half not even a card at all...?!
ReplyDeleteOne happened in the 1st half and the other in the 2nd half. There in itself is the answer you seek.
DeleteI‘m sorry to say, but in Germany, the IFAB protocol about VAR is strictly applied. I don‘t know whether that is the case in other countries, it doesn‘t seem so. There is a clear statement that in case the referee missed an incident, it does not have to be a blatant mistake. If the VAR, after having spoken with the referee, comes to the conclusion that the referee might change his initial decision, an OFR can be recommended.
ReplyDeleteThat is how it should work. One can argue that the contact in this incident was low. However, Brych probably did not see the contact and therefore, if Dingert thinks replays could change his decision, an OFR might be helpful.
The reason not give a penalty in such situations is not because the contact is “small”, but because it is exaggerated. In this situation, the drop was natural, so the strength of the contact is not important and everything was done correctly.
ReplyDeleteNow this doesn't make any sense at all. How was the drop natural
DeleteBlack kit looks cool.
ReplyDeleteI really like the new Macron referee kits.
DeleteOut with old (Adidas) and in with the new.
Agree.
DeleteIncorrect corner kick
ReplyDeleteNo the ball was touched by the defender
DeleteCan anyone explain why Sidriupolius is appointed as 4th official so often?
ReplyDeletecause there is no var in greek league
DeleteMaybe there should be a FIFA badge "fourth official";)
DeleteWhy was Castrilli's comment deleted?
DeleteCool you deleted my comment which based on his latest assignments was not wrong. But no worries, because if I was wrong he would be the man in the middle not on the sideline babysitting coaches.
DeleteChris bramis, what do you want to say with that?
DeleteSidiropoulos must learn how VAR works so he get more games with VAR as fourth official than other Elite referees.
Deletewe see that to europe matches with VAR they appoint referees with var in their domestic league. He took charge in 2 KO matches at this year Europa leaguen with one major error at each match so the committee doesn't trust him enough
DeleteExactly Chris! That's what it boils down to. He doesn't even have the trust of his own home Ref Comm to be assigned to the sonorous Greek matches. They're forced to import Referee's for those matches.
DeleteThat is why I asked that general question - if he is not one of the best referees this season, why is he appointed for this match where a very experienced referee and future talent as VAR are appointed?
DeleteThis is an excellent question for Mr Rosetti. An even better would be if he will keep his Elite status.
DeleteRight. If he keeps the elite, that would be ridiculous.
DeleteHis performances this season don't merit him keeping Elite status. Similar to Svein Odvar-Moen he needs to be demoted so he can refocus and remake himself as a referee.
DeleteHe stated that his big goal it to attend Euro2020. I hope he ll step up next season but already his chances are.very low
DeleteCorrect penalty for England
ReplyDeleteYC for DOGSO as well (genuine attempt to play the ball)
DeleteAgreed.
DeleteNow that's a clear and obvious PK. Unlike.......................
ReplyDeleteFortunately for Turpin the foul was so very obvious and easy to spot. Because the play caught his well out out of position and quite far away from the incident.
DeleteGood play-on now (37'). Defender played the ball clearly.
ReplyDelete1st caution now (44'). Correct. However, he missed another one for SPA.
ReplyDeleteYes, sorry forgot about that.
DeleteMind blown! Two, yes two Cautions shown in a 1st Half of a match. So it can be done without the referee "ruining" the match.
ReplyDeleteProbably didn't call the foul on the English player in his box because the keeper was going to get the ball, and a goalie punt is better than a free kick, but he should have at least warned the Dutch player. And with the English player being hurt on the foul, it looks very bad that he didn't call it.
ReplyDeleteCorrect play on (52’). No contact with the foot and a minor one with the arm, nothing to be whistled.
ReplyDeleteI will repeat myself without sarcasm. Foul detection in the first 15 min. of the second half was not consistent and Turpin whistled many 50-50 situations in favour of the English. It raised irritations in the Dutch team which could have easily been prevented by a more balanced approach.
DeleteCompletely disagree with you. Just a question of circumstances. Not because of foul detection.
DeleteOf course you can disagree FRENCHref. Rewatch De Roon’s alleged attacking foul in England’s box, he doesn’t do anything, is just standing still. England was given a FK after an undeliberate handball near ASR2. The situation in the box where Bergwijn was challenged by an Englishman without having an eye for the ball. Just three random examples :)
DeleteI watched the game. Turpin is not biased and you should stop hinting or implying that he is!
DeleteGood morning Jackson, thanks for the substantial comment. You spend however no single word on contradict the examples I mentioned, with which I wanted to make clear that his tactical approach was unbalanced. Not biased. And no, I will not move on just because it would suit you :)
DeleteMy god, we can stop commenting... Only applause for the referee tonight! What this moderator is doing tonight is nonsense, no insults or agressive words, just a slight touch of cynism. In the dictionary this is called censorship.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteDon't like it? Than move on out of here.
DeleteTwo VAR interventions: disallowed goal and then NO PENALTY for hanbdall.
ReplyDeleteThe call for AR was very difficult...
I really like the way Turpin managed the VAR review for the offside. This calm is really something he improved in the last months.
ReplyDeleteIt took all that time to decide what was obvious live? The ball clearly hits the English player in the number on his back.
ReplyDeleteI think there was two potential handball to verify.
DeleteBalls clearly hitting the thigh of a player and the back of a player equal potential? That's a very low threshold.
DeleteDisagree. It wasn’t that long. About 45 seconds.
DeleteAll because the Dutch players mobbed the referee and demanded VAR check. If I'm a coach of team where VAR is in use. I'm instructing my players to just that. Mob and hound the referee on each and every "potential" PK incident and demand VAR check.
Delete100’ That was a blatant yellow card not given to Lingard after studs up tackle hitting Blind on the foot. Clear example of a reckless tackle.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Turpin had an extremely poor angle on the play and was initially not even going to whistle for a foul.
DeleteCorrect and proper execution of the keep the flag down by AR until the play concludes. However there ended up being somewhat of a collision at the end of the play. If a player was to have been injured there. Is it simply going to be accepted as just a by product of VAR protocol?
ReplyDelete100' very clear missed YC. All were astonished for Brych, but now?
ReplyDeleteTurpin is hide by Lingard’s body and didn’t see contact here. Obvious with tv angle but difficult to see with normal view.
DeleteLuckily he did have a good visual angle when Dutch Van de Beek fouled his opponent and got himself booked.
DeleteOk ok dutch boy. Are you a Feyenoord’s fan ? Still angry about match with As Roma to again and again be so sarcastic ?
DeleteIf Turpin wasn't so passive, tired looking and disinterested on the field. He would have gotten himself into the proper position.
DeleteOh but i agree with you about position’s failure here Sheriff but overall very good performance of the french crew. Your opinion ?
DeleteBetter than Brych last night. I'll leave it at that ;)
DeleteQuite remarkable that more decent posts of Sheriff and me have been removed and this provocative message of our French friend is still glamourously present...
DeleteOverall an excellent performance by the French officiating team tonight. Turpin confirms his good shape and asserts himself as one of the best referees in Europe IMO.
ReplyDeleteAgree and with Bastien’s 1/4 final on Poland : good signs for french refereeing.
DeleteVery good performance. As a fan of Brych, this was a much better performance than his.
DeleteOK performance of Turpin, but nowhere near to excellent in my opinion. No big controversies, a correct, but most obvious penalty for England and mostly in control. But I also noted inconsistencies in disciplinary management and handball assessments and a suboptimal tactical approach. Apart from that, though he improved his soft skills, I don’t recognize a natural authority in his way of managing play and players (body language, mimic etc). The latter is also a matter of taste I admit.
ReplyDeleteGood job, but that’s it in my opinion.
I think Brych lost his motivation after he had only one game in WC 2018... Because he is too old for WC 2022... Very sad for him, he deserves at least one match in WC playoff anyway...
