    Interesting observer for the new FIFA Referee from Portugal, Vítor Ferreira. I would say Fedayi San has the most sonorous match.

      FTC vs. Djurgarden wasn't a too hard match, thanks to the teams. Even so the swiss ref made a big mistake:

      He ate the acting and then give a yellow card to the player, who was farther from the striker.

      I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.

    After preliminary round, Berke got another appointment in CL. It seems that he is going to have a fair number of games...

    I got the info that many delegates, observers and referees have been replaced due to Coronavirus issues and regulations regarding all the countries involved. It is very difficult to keep everything always updated, so don't take this appointment as strictly correct, we try to do our best to update them as long as we have info.

    Christofi has been replaced by Chinkov since travelling from Cyprus to Serbia would require a 14 day self-isolation on his return to Cyprus.

    Also a change for the game between Floriana FC and CFR 1907 Cluj.

    UEFA seems to have add one 4th official and one AR.. One or several members of the team may have received a no-go following CoVid test results.

    I had missed this news coming from Russia and I must say I'm quite shocked that in a so important federation, things like that are still happening... in this context I would say Karasev can consider himself as very lucky about everything what he achieved, it looks to be very easy to be removed, processed and then maybe also jailed!
    Law 5 The Ref is close to the involved officials and we wish that such a treatment will be strongly condemned by UEFA and FIFA. It is simply unacceptable.

      Isn't Kassai head of referee in Russia? I am surprised if he is ok with that, to be honest in his position I would require changes or I would quit.

    3. Chefren19 August 2020 at 13:39

      For sure he isn't OK with that but what he can do is nothing.
      So resigning would be only option, but of course is at personal discretion.

      Wow, completely ridiculous! Surely UEFA have to do something, and surely FIFA have to do something. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Russian FA suspended for this egregious interference.

      Poor performance by symusik. First YC of the match was given to a wrong player. Also the 2nd YC (RC)to ararat can never be a 2nd yellow

    I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want..
