  1. I think UEFA make a big mistake. They put a referee observer from Armenia with refs from Azerbaidjan. Funny, because this two national teams are not allowed to be in the same group. Because are political tension between Armenia and Azerbaidjan. I think they should change the referee observer.

  2. Faroe Islands - North Macedonia on 08/09:
    Golubevs - Tatriks, Platonovs - Malcevs (LVA)
    Strangely already published on uefa.com and dfb.de (no idea, why they have it...)

    Some youth friendlies between Germany and Denmark
    U20, 03/09: Schwengers, Scharf, Jürgensen, Oldhafer
    U20, 06/09: Oldhafer, Scharf, Jürgensen, Schwengers
    U18, 04/09: Speckner, Hamper, Kohnert, Lechner
    U18, 07/09: Lechner, Hamper, Kohner, Speckner
    All four referees are from the German 3rd division.

    1. Faroe Islands - North Macedonia match was originally scheduled on 19 November 2019 but was called off due to a frozen field.
      It was originally re-scheduled to 4 June 2020, but had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.
      So maybe the appointment is still the old one.

    2. OK, that makes sense then.

  3. It seems at first that UEFA wanted to prevent long and difficult traveling, but then I see Strukan in Georgia, Orel in Iceland and Al Hakim in Kosovo. I dont understand how they made such appointments, it doesnt seem fair that some referees can go by car and others cant even have a direct flight.

  4. Particularly interesting observer for Orel, after what was reported to be a good performance in his YL semifinal.

  6. Missed penalty to Germany by Kajtazović (59') The foul was inside and but Kajtazovic decided outside the box.

    Did 2nd assistant see the foul inside?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Very good performance at Czech Croatia. I watched this game very carefully. Good management, moving, excellent disciplinary control. I am impressed of this refereeing team from Bulgaria. The referee was Ivaylo Stoyanov. Maybe he deserves some overview of UEFA...
