    1. Oh, and as NZL is the Oceanic representative, I go for Zitouni (TAH) as referee representative. It's either him or Kiwi referee Waldron, as Conger already was in Rio 2016.

      Delete
    2. Quilava and all Spanish readers, if you manage to know more about Del Cerro grande position, it is indeed very particular to have him as apparently preselected referee for WC 2022. Maybe CTA-RFEF has planned to change something. I also thought that it is possible FIFA wants him as VAR expert, so in that case, being still a FIFA official or not wouldn't be important anymore...

      Delete
    3. Reglamento General de la RFEF, article 173: "1st division referees who are 45 years old by 1st of July on the present year will have to retire due to age limit".

      The same article says that specific VARs will have to retire at 47. So, there are 3 options:

      1) RFEF reforms its own rules and abolishes/extends the age limit so Del Cerro Grande could be eligible and refereeing for 2022.

      2) Del Cerro Grande retires in July 2021 and becomes specific VAR. He's a fantastic referee but is also considered a VAR specialist (he took charge of Women's World Cup final last year) and goes to 2022 WC as specific VAR.

      3) Del Cerro Grande retires in July 2021, but FIFA doesn't select specific VARs, so Del Cerro Grande is out from World Cup.

      For me, the most likely scenario is 2.

      Delete
    4. Regarding del Cerro Grande as VAR specialist, it is quite surprising that UEFA hasn't used him in that role in Champions League, while Elite referees Marciniak, Orsato, Makkelie, Gil Manzano, Soares Dias, Zwayer, Rocchi and Turpin had matches.

      Delete
    5. @Quilava, #2 is the least likely scenario. Because if Cerro Grande was on this list as a VAR specialist, there would be a lot more names on the list. Someone, for example, like Alan Kelly would be listed.

      Given everything we know and how Italy is treating Orsato, #1 is the clear scenario. This is a list of prospective referees.

      The ONLY alternative scenario that I can see is that Spain wants to send Cerro Grande to the Olympics in 2020 and he needs to go to this seminar. In that scenario, he then retires in 2021 and Gil Manzano is the Spanish referee for WC2022.

  5. AFC Ajax - Getafe CF
    Anastásios Sidirópoulos (Felix Zwayer)

    28’ Reckless vs. Serious Foul Play, GET no.18? Yellow Card given
    54’ Three missed fouls (tripping, striking, tripping; reckless?) in quick succession; control?
    57’ Freekick to Ajax (charging) vs. Goal to Getafe? Freekick given; whistle timing?
    65’ Reckless vs. Serious Foul Play, AJX no.17? Yellow Card given
    72’ Goal for Getafe disallowed (offside) by Lázaros Dimitriádis
    85’ Second Yellow Card (dissent), AJX no.17? No sanction

    VAR Interventions:

    Overall: tough game, lots of unsporting play and tense atmosphere; firm, distant and unimpressed approach used was well-suited to this game; very good proactiveness in the 1H, some lacks in the 2H; solid soft skills in ‘low-pressure’ talks but referee used distant firmness well to avoid ‘high-pressure’ talks where his authority was at risk; very good disciplinary helped him keep the control but he risked that at 54’ by missing three fouls, inc. two reckless ones – referee was fortunate to have not ‘lost’ the game there; too little additional time in 1H, good (large) amount in 2H -> referee adapted well to show a good performance in a quite challenging game, especially in 1H, but some mistakes prevent sth more.

    Replies
    1. It looked indeed like a tough game. IMO 65' has to be a RC

      Delete
    2. I was in the stadium so I am not completely objective. But this could easily also have been the 2nd YC for # 7 Getafe for always moving the ball with a free kick (timewasting)

      It was a hot night. You could easily have grabbed another 10 moments ;)

      Delete
    3. 85' should already be a YC for pushing his opponent down IMO. BTW, technically the free kick was already executed, so I would not even blame the blue player there.

  7. As far as I know, it is only the general assumption here, that this is the complete list of possible referees.
    But there is no official communication by FIFA on it, so we don't know for sure their plans.

  8. PAOK Thessaloníki - Olympiakós Pireás
    Tobias Stieler (Tobias Welz)

    52’ Goal to PAOK disallowed for offside by Matthias Jöllenbeck – active offside?
    59’ Penalty to PAOK (tripping)? Penalty to PAOK (charging / tripping)?
    63’ Penalty to PAOK (charging)?
    81’ Penalty to PAOK (tripping)?

    VAR Interventions: 52’ Goal -> Defensive Indirect Freekick (offside) [OFR]

    Overall: unremarkable game, especially before 52’; missed yellow card (aerial studs tackle) at 71’, borderline careless-reckless tackles at 56’/58’ no card, opened cards on tactically valuable rather typically careless tackle at 76’ but nr. a large camera so good; values his skills as a psychologist, made a point of explaining disallowed goal to PAOK players; aroused respect, natural authority which was not sacrificed when he talked with players -> good performance in a normal difficulty (hugely important) game.

    ReplyDelete
  9. APOEL Lefkosías - Apollon Lemesoú
    Rade Obrenovič

    43’ Reckless vs. Serious Foul Play, APOL no.5? No sanction
    66’ Second Yellow Card (SPA), APOL no.5? No sanction; Yellow Card (dissent), APOEL no.29

    Overall: quite tough game, hard performance to assess; pretty immense management, excellent soft skills, overall very high acceptance by players who responded to him really well; five clear yellow cards missed (9’, reckless elbow; 15’, reckless strike; 37’ unpunished standing leg tackle; 43’ ^see above^; 78’ lack of respect / SPA); brilliant proactive approach, similar to say Al-Jassim, keeping control / overview in this game was very impressive, well done; great fitness / movement from non-athlete optic referee, á la Mateu (and maybe the positive comparison does not end there...) -> disciplinary control cannot be ignored, but overall good performance (8,8 - 0,5 = 8,3); make no mistake though, Obrenovič is one of the most talented referees in the world at the moment (it is a disgrace if he is kept for political reasons in 3rd Cat.).

      Mikael 5 yellow cards missed?? Do you have clips?
      - 43. minute for me no yellow, player hits his own player!
      - 66. minute first yellow ok for nr 5, but he had allready one so never second yellow!

      Delete
    5. Anonymous 13:19, probably you didn't notice that both were questions for consideration and not opinions. Your argument for not issuing 2. YC in the 66´ is not valid, you should find better. The use of exclamation mark is not enough...

      Mikael, mark for 5 missing YC is never 8,3. Maximum would have been 8,1.

  10. The controversial weekend again at Eredivisie
    PEC Zwolle - Vitesse
    Referee: Allard Lindhout / VAR: Erwin Blank

    Penaltydicision by handsbal for PEC Zwolle. Clear miss or not?
    https://twitter.com/FOXSportsnl/status/1233871182933450753
    Lindhout said: "I see that the right back throws forward himself and the ball hits the hand. That hand is not directed downwards to support the body and away from the body, then it is a penalty."

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If the ball indeed hits the arm (what is not completely clear to me by the pictures), the penalty is at least supportable. As the referee explains, the arm is stretched away from the body and not used to support the body. And the deflection by himself is not relevant according to the LotG.

      Delete
  11. Some clips from Espanyol - Wolverhampton, I didn't manage to watch full game but I looked for important / interesting situations. So it is possible there is something more, however for sure the incidents I found are very interesting.

    6' YC for reckless use of arms
    https://streamja.com/meMpq

    22' A few time before 1-1, possible second YC for the same player of the previous situation. Again a reckless use of arm, this time while jumping. Unluckily no replays by broadcaster, strong protests by opponents after the goal scored. Referee didn't whistle at all the foul. VAR intervention not possible because after that Espanyol played ball for a while (So it wasn't the APP leading to goal).
    https://streamja.com/R36vz

    36' Offside or (in case of foul) penalty? Referee called offside.
    https://streamja.com/GZrny


    40' YC after advantage.
    https://streamja.com/4dn6V

    55' Penalty to Espanyol. Sorry for poor quality of video, it depends on broadcaster. At first glance, a very correct decision, but looking closely, was there a contact? The last replay leaves some doubts. In case of no contact, in my opinion in this case classic example of indirect free kick for dangerous play. No VAR intervention, but this could mean that they didn't have the contrary evidence, so they backed referee. Of course very difficult in case for referee and it is a situation in which you tend to whistle, just to clarify.
    https://streamja.com/vVXy5

    62' Holding outside the box - could have been free kick after a delayed whistle (wait and see), attacker continued his action. Only this very close replay showed that.
    https://streamja.com/dmeEK

    63' YC for reckless challenge - mandatory booking
    https://streamja.com/Kyrv7

    66' Two yellow cards for players from home-team. The first for a very reckless challenge - absolutely dangerous and very close to RC for SFP then the second one for protests to a teammate. One must study the exact point of impact, but to be honest live this foul sounds more like a RC than a YC. VAR didn't intervente and in my opinion this was a very borderline decision. AR2 reported the situation to referee. This can be an argument in favor of NO VAR (an official close to incident detected it)

  12. Another VAR scandal in the Premier League. Everton scored in minute 92.
    It's abslutely unacceptabel how VAR can ruin a correct decision taken by the refs on the pitch.

    He had zero effect on the GKs possibility of playing or being able to play the ball. The ball would have 100% gone it no matter if the attacker was there or not. Being in the line of vision requires that you prevent someone from playing or being able to play the ball...

  13. Lahoz decided for stricter approach at the beggining, three YC in first 18 minutes which resulted in more or less calm match and easy job for Lahoz. I dare to say he is in a great form at the moment.

    1. Overall a satisfying,good performance from the refereeing crew. A couple of inferesting situations:
      - Two disallowed goals for Olympique Lyon, one for offside by AR2 and another for handball atfer VAR intervention, very difficult to spot live while ball bounced twice in a very short time, definitely VAR stuff in this case.
      - A possible penalty for Lyon denied after offside prior to the situation, Schneider has opted in this one for YC to the attacker(simulation), not the best decision(play-on would have been the wisest choice IMO) but still supportable.
      Despite a possible missed 2nd YC for unsportsmanlike behavior(challenging GK who got the ball in possession, still OK not to caution in my eyes), his disciplinary management was good in the whole match.
      He left a good impression with a very calm, cool-headed way to present himself, and his approach was well-accepted by players.
      If this appointment was made in order to prepare something bigger for him(Coupe de france final, as he already officiate Coupe de la Ligue final à few years ago?), he definitely succeeded.

      Delete
    2. I fully agree. I would add a very well-spotted penalty for Lyon in the very last minute of the match (handball). Very satisfying performance by the officiating team.

  20. Can someone explain the logic between the offside decision in Everton vs. Man Utd?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Offside for clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision. I think, in the name of this article it doesn't matter whether a player is lying on the ground or standing up. I am not referring specifically to this situation, but we can't determine the exact impact on goalkeeper when it comes to "preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision". At the moment of the shoot (not a rebound), a player on the offside position is just in goalkeeper's line of vision and that is a fact we can objectively assess, so for me, it is a punishable offence.

  23. In past this wouldn't have been allowed, the changes on FIFA list were possible only once a year, very strictly. Now it seems that something has changed. More flexibility by FIFA, but let's say that the timing of the choice made by Kassai was definitely the worst one. Still no big faults but for sure a FIFA spot is something very important for a federation, so I understand the action of Hungarian FA there.
