Why is van Boekel the VAR and Blom AVAR tonight. In the UCL Blom was always the main var....
ReplyDeleteAfter TUR-ITA handball incident Blom has not got any VAR appointment in EURO 2020.
DeleteBecause taking a "wrong" decision in the opinion of a few specific people in the comission (while the whole football world appreciates the same decision) means you get demoted to AVAR.
ReplyDeleteThe whole football appreciated that decision? Personally, I discussed the incident with my family and with the referees of my federation and we all saw a clear mistake. Listen to commentators on TV... they were all confused by that decision...
DeleteAre you serious? That was a clear handball. Even commentators on TV were confused
DeleteAccording to the new wording of the LOTG a clearly wrong evaluation by signore Rosetti. Shame that as an Italian he chose to break under the pressure of his compatriots instead of implementing what major part of football community wants.

DeleteWith Makkelie and Orsato today, I want to thank you for your work so far and sadly wish you good luck for the coming hours as well
Delete???
DeleteIf you're referring to my anonymous comment last night commending Cakir's choice of uniform, I both understand my comment's lack of value but also feel redeemed by Makkelie's choosing the same uniform tonight. ��
DeleteCome on Desmond.....have a great job !!
ReplyDeleteFirst YC, but for me not even a foul
ReplyDeleteI agree. Attacker puts his leg in the way of defender. We had some penalty situation the days before with similar situations resulting in "no penalty decision"
DeleteHe just about had the German players top off, a clear foul
DeleteMakkelie with a clear explanation of YC decision: two defenders. No DOGSO, but SPA. Reasonable choice. No need for understanding more.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, YC is enough and supportable
DeleteHis management of players retreating 10 yards was baffling. He used the foam for the defensive wall but THREE players were nearer, one who eventually blocked the shot! Poor refereeing!!
DeleteIf it's a foul YC correct. But attacker enlarged his leg towards the defender, im glad Germany didn't make a goal from that freekick.
ReplyDeleteThat FK to GER is ‘clever’ play - he surely deliberately puts his leg right across the defender and actually impedes/trips him? Very hard to see at normal speed.
ReplyDeleteNot see the arm pull first?
ReplyDeleteWhen to give a YC for tactical foul like Rudiger's just now and when not to as a referee?
ReplyDeleteFK + YC is a sensible choice and the expected outcome here, but I disagree with the FK here. Attacker puts his leg there on purpose.
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan to see a referee put YC and RC together in the same pocket. Many referees did this in the past, but it still looks strange for me
ReplyDeleteI'd agree. When he pulled out his wallet, you could only see the red card!
DeleteCard for the foul or protest? I didn't understand.
ReplyDeleteI think for the foul but after much time because of protesting fans.
DeleteI think, SPA. The dissent wasn't that much.
DeleteFor foul
DeleteWhat does SPA mean?
DeleteStopping a promising attack.
DeleteThanks, so one level below DOGSO, now I understand
DeleteIn his first match Ita-Tur Makkeile was looking strong and self confident but after Rosetti's comments tonight he is a little bit inconsistence and shaky.
ReplyDeleteImagine Mario Diks: sent home by Makkelie and new AR gets a VAR correction and the other makes an off-side signalation after a CK
ReplyDeleteWhat does this comment has to do with this match? Both situations were on MD1. It seems you just want to make this point again. One word, pathetic!
DeleteDrew Smith - please just grow up, you are embarrassing yourself and this blog.
ReplyDeleteI had literally 0 intent on offending anyone, just made a valid point
DeleteDrew, not all England fans are like that and wanted Scotland to do well also.
ReplyDeletePity that football is not as respectful as other sports
I accept that. Fair enough, I won’t speak of it anymore
DeleteHaving seen Makkelie in many games, I often notice this way of doing it, waiting some moments before whistling or taking decisions like cards, having the maximum concentration on what he is doing. A very quick "rewind" of what had happened in his mind, in a few instants.
ReplyDeleteThis was a textbook SFP IMO.
ReplyDeleteFor me that was more of a RC than the one wales received
ReplyDeleteI am quite sure that Hategan doesnt agree with a YC in this situation :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, Hategan was absolutely correct in both RC he has shown in the group stage
DeleteI'm sorry but that's a RC for SFP imo.
ReplyDeleteAnd again we have Blom at VAR!
ReplyDeleteOr waiting for input (var). Second yellow card took so long that it looks like that.
ReplyDeleteGood communication with the AR on the defender putting back the ball in Kane's feet.
ReplyDeleteHow is that not a Red card by far worse than the one Hategan issued, Danny wasn’t brave there!!
ReplyDeleteIts cause Hategan is strict whereas Danny gives you the "UEFA-approach"
DeleteIt's the same 8 or 8.5/10 that Hategan went red on. Both decisions are justifiable and the VAR probably right to intervene. Let's face it, the game "wants" this to stay 11v11 if at all possible. I don't think Danny will get knocked too much.
ReplyDeleteVAR right to NOT intervene*
Deletehttps://youtu.be/eYkscy3-h10?t=397
ReplyDeleteI was instantly reminded of this situation :)
For the last ten-ish years I'd say, 45' is not SFP anymore. We can argue whether it should be though...
Point of contact was higher up the leg today though, I think...
DeleteIn that video, point of contact is mostly on foot. On this incident much higher than there.
DeleteYeah, I should have explained better (situation from Greece is even much clearer than this IMO) - many detailed explanations from Clattenburg before stating that not all boxes are ticked for SFP!
DeleteThe more textbook decision being RC, but the expectation from UEFA / FIFA being YC.
Come on, Hategan and Makkelie faced two different situations. Philips' foot slipped off the ball and it was over the ankle but not involving full studs contact while Ampadu's action was targeted directly on an opponent's leg with full studs contact over the ankle.
ReplyDeleteExactly, I don't understand the comparison at all really.
DeleteNot giving that red card was a bad mistake, and Makkelie probably booked his ticket back home there.
ReplyDeleteI rewatched the incident before writing my opinion, I think there is a difference between this foul and the one occurred in Hategan game, in that case the player went directly on opponent's foot, here both players are about to hit the ball together and then the player committing foul slips on the opponent. This can be an argument in favor of YC, but RC of course would have been accepted by VAR as well. In my opinion OK not to intervene because this is more unlucky circumstance than Hategan's game, it could have happened the contrary.
ReplyDeleteSee this frame, a few seconds before the foul:
https://postimg.cc/jLzymtcv
Yes, that is my point as well. IMO both cards should be supported, but one should take the intent into consideration as well (Hategan: Endangering the health of the opponent; Makkelie: Playing the ball)
DeleteAll in all, a good performance so far by the Dutchman in my view.
IMO 45' is SFP and red card. But i understand VAR doesn't intervene there because Philips touched the ball first. It can be supportable.
ReplyDeleteJust one explanation to the 45' decision. Danny is cool headed, while Hstegan is brash.
ReplyDeleteAnd you don't understand refereeing and football...
DeleteTo add, from a replay, Makkelie in excellent positioning, he surely saw exactly what had happened therefore YC is the "real decision" he would take for this foul, we can't have doubts.
ReplyDeleteLawaj, this blog is better off without your polemicising, you are BANNED.
ReplyDeleteI invite all users to ignore his comments from now on, they will be deleted.
I read his comment and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. He gave an opinion is that not what this page is for? Get a grip. Oh sorry my bad i don't want BANNED.
DeleteI have no time for trolls, sorry.
DeleteClear censorship!!! The comment was an opionion like everyone else's. Come on, let's talk sense!
DeleteSo you're a troll for giving an opinion? Ok. There have been a few comments of his I've been like give it a rest but there was nothing wrong with the one he was BANNED for.
DeleteI have greatest of respect for Chefren and Mikael however strong opinions that only reference the nature of a referees decisions should not be banned IMO. However, if they are not allowed then it is of course the decision of the moderators. I just think however wrong we might feel an opinion is, unless it is announced using insulting language or includes a factual lie then it should be allowed. Regardless, thanks to Mikael and Chefren for their work on this blog.
DeleteLawaj, your comments about Hategan are so repetitive and annoying. It was explained in post match analysis that his decision was absolutely correct, fact that was sustained by Rosetti when he said that there were 3 mistakes, which have been identified. I'm pretty sure we'll see Hategan in the middle for a QF and maybe as FO on Wembley.
DeleteWith Rosetti in the stadium.
ReplyDeleteWe were spoiled yesterday with a pair of entertaining and exciting goal-fests. Today we're brought back down to earth with this snooze-fest.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a full disappointment, what a boring game and this should have been the most interesting one of Round of 16!
DeleteLet's hope for the next minutes...
TBH I do not expect England can play eye-catching football
DeleteIt's not about it being "eye catching". It's about not playing in such cautious and overly conservative manner. Don't be afraid to win.
DeleteWhen the team not playing in conservative manner, the game will become more open and more interesting, which is what I meant by "eye-catching" from a fan perspective. We are basically talking the same thing
DeleteI don't think it is boring.
ReplyDeleteGood tactical game
I agree, at least more interesting than the 1st half of Sweden-Slovakia:)
DeleteThat's funny! You compare a round of 16 match between two "top" teams to a group stage match between two second tier sides to justify the "boringness"
DeleteCome on!!!!!!be polite! be respective! I compared only based on the level of entertainment of the game itself! Does this bother you?
DeleteAn England team that barely creates chances vs German team who almost went out - hardly the most stunning.
ReplyDeleteProb one with most history
Typical of England, not moving ball quick enough
Some good assessments by AR2 Jan de Vries for this goal!
ReplyDeleteNow free kick and YC for SPA, to keep control on the player who had committed the foul, Makkelie indicated him immediatly after the whistle.
ReplyDeleteVery good foul detection on 76' and YC as well.
ReplyDeleteI hereby ban myself [post deleted by user]. Just kidding. I really enjoy this blog because it helps develop a refereeing culture or places a value on good refereeing, and the comments are really helpful in understanding what it takes to be a good referee. So let's all try to be respectful and also please give a warning or two telling what behavior isn't wanted or is wanted before banning anyone.
ReplyDeleteAnother good NO FLAG decision by AR2 for 2-0. The game seems coming to its end.
ReplyDeletevery good onside by AR2 on second goal. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that Germany finally decided to come out of its shell and play in an attacking manner after 80 minutes
ReplyDeleteVery good job by Makkelie, like almost always. He is one of the best referees in the world nowadays.
ReplyDeleteIMO, Cakir and Makkelie must be absolutely safe about their presence for the last 3 matches of this tournament. One place is empty and should be occupied about the ref with best performance in QF.
ReplyDeleteGood and expected performance by Makkelie, not sure if he will get a match again, maybe SF, not the possibility was not that high IMO
ReplyDeletebut the possibility was not that high IMO *
DeleteWell done by Makkelie and his team! All yellow cards correct (maybe one SFP but i think at least supportable), great foul detection. I think a QF will be deserved.
ReplyDeleteHe did very good job as expected. The game was not that challenging but he proved that he is a candidate of SFs.
ReplyDeleteIt's a really interesting EURO, that's for sure. France, Netherlands, Germany, Portugal.... all out. Wow!
ReplyDeleteCzechia, Switzerland, Ukraine or Sweden in the QF. Must be one of the more interesting EURO's in quite a while.
Also, good performance by Makkelie, complete acceptance.
And to think that Austria and Croatia were close to eliminating Italy and Spain! Hungary in group stage, wow! France with such a team, full of stars, eliminated by Switzerland. Amazing, unpredictable tournament!
DeleteHe had no real acceptance by German players. They only had acceptance to the sport.
DeleteAnother match other players and this could have escalated.
The big picture was good, but the foul detection and the card management was not
@JR I am surprised by your comment. this was a tense match, due to the teams involved. Good approach by Makkelie, who kept his calm and with his cool attitude he kept the tension under control. some players did protest, as usual in every game nowadays. Makkelie really had full control.
DeleteGood, expected level performance by Makkelie IMO. Sensible use of sanctions and some very good assessments by AR2 de Vries.
ReplyDeleteWhy was lawaj banned.his opinions are sometimes strong but he doesn't insult anyone. we need people like him with a different opinion bcos that's what will make the blog balanced
ReplyDeleteNo, it will bring the blog more anti-intellectual nonsense. Calling the second Soares Dias' performance excellent, Brych's last performance excellent, bashing Hategan for good decision, comparing Hategan's and Makkelie's incidents... It's enough. This blog is not the right place for posting such bullsh*t.
Delete@anonymous 20:05

@anonymous 20:05
ReplyDeleteu shoud not call anyone's opinion 'anti-intellectual' because they disagree with you or many others. now for using the word b*llshit, you too should be banned.
I don't like lawaj, but mikael w it is wrong and disgraceful to ban him for talking his own opinion. Is that not what this blog is for. anyway fine match by makkiele and his team.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I strongly disagree with this postmodern idea that everyone's opinion is equal and everything is about perspectives, nothing is objectively wrong (or right).
DeleteQuality should be protected and I will take every step necessary to preserve the expertise of this blog. And besides, he was so blatantly trying to troll us, I can't believe that isn't obvious to everyone...
Thx Mikael. +1!!!
DeleteOh,my God. What a horrible comment, Furqan Miah! Mikael, you have my support.
DeleteThanks Xabi, that means a lot!
DeleteAs you can imagine, I was rather surprised to see such a comment :)
Makkelie with a good performance. A SF appointment will follow, I believe, potentially the final, even though Cakir seems clearly the right referee to be at Wembley on 11th July. Kuipers and Taylor also in the run. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteCatalan newspaper SPORT confirming Mateu is out of the Euro and sayind Del Cerro is set to officiate a QF match.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow a new set of officials will leave.
https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/eurocopa/mateu-lahoz-sigue-eurocopa-11862682
I think they will be dr. Brych, Rapallini (also if i planned a qf for him) Ekberg and Siebert and maybe also one between Orsato and Hategan or Oliver.
DeleteRef Paul, generally agreed. I just think Oliver must stay in the tournament based on his good performances. He would be a very valuable name for ITA-BEL or SWI-ESP.
DeleteThe article says that dCG could be appointed in a QF. But based on performances I think he can be happy with a 4th official appointment. Anything else would be a political choice because they want a Spanish referee in KO phase.
DeleteConsidering that Oliver with italians is not well seen: i think that he could handle Switzerland-Spain, Kuipers in Italy-Belgium, Denmark-Czech Republic for Vincic and Del Cerro could handle England-Sweden/Ukraine. The alternative is also Hategan. But I think the Romanian will be only fourth official.
DeleteSemifinals for Taylor and Cakir, and final act to Kuipers.
The article says it is likely Del Cerro gets a QF appointment. They call it a normal scenario. Personally I'd rather go with other referees, such as Vincic, Karasev, Hategan or Oliver, who have had more convincing performances.
DeleteRef Paul, Cakir, Kuipers, Taylor (potentially Makkelie) are the strongest names for the last three games. I don't quite see any other referees being such safe choices for the tournament to proceed calmly and with total acceptance by players, teams and fans.
DeleteGotta be a joke considering what we've seen on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI quite liked Makkelie this evening. Definitely deserving of another game. And don't rule him out for the final. Pitana also had opening and final games at WC18.
ReplyDeleteHe is very young for EURO final IMO. But ofcourse he is a candidate.
DeleteEngland moves on, so no more room for two English refs in the last 7 matches. Only of them will continue.
ReplyDeleteIt's not inevitable that one of them will leave. I can see Oliver handling SWI-ESP and Taylor in SFs. It is fully deserved btw.
DeleteOliver for SUI-SPA.. Taylor must cross his fingers. Who knows: Rapallini, Orsato (if Italy out), Makkelie: those names are all possible choices.
DeleteBut as somebody pointed out, given the reputation by committee for Taylor, it would be very unexpected to see Oliver getting a better last appointment than Taylor in the competition.
DeleteIn case, it could be that SUI - ESP, after today, will be for Taylor. We will see.
Even if England make it to SFs, Taylor can have the game England will not be potentially involved in. He deserves another game.
DeleteRemember that both Clattenburg and Atkinson performed well at Euro 2016, but only Clattenburg continued after R16. If two Dutch and two English referees will be retained for last 7 matches, that will only leave 3 games for the others. Deserved or not, UEFA will want more representation and they have more choices to achieve that.
DeleteAnonymous 29 June 2021 at 21:03, that's it.
Delete@Chefren, I think that Taylor should be more than satisfied: he got Portugal-Germany: a real top clash, and he was good. In Denmark he was able to stop the play when Eriksen collapsed in a few seconds, and got Prince's rewards. In Italy-Austria he was not the best.
DeleteIf I was Rosetti I would keep Makkelie, Cakir and Taylor for a semifinal. Vincic, Kuipers, Del Cerro and Oliver for quarter finals and Kuipers to the final.
Let'see what referees' countries will do.
If we see all games and performances, for me personally Cakir is in the leading position right now. But let's wait how Oliver and Vincic will perform, if being HOPEFULLY nominated again in QF.
ReplyDeleteBehind Cakir I would see Taylor, then Brych and Kuipers.
The fact that some people still see Brych in convention for the final after Bel Por baffles me tbh. For me the choice is between the 2 dutchies and Cakir for now (maybe some QF refs can come in convention too) Taylor/Oliver out for me considering that Clatts had the final 4 years ago and Eng will likely make it to SFs
DeleteAndrasch is a total Brychette. Unbelievable how someone can still bring up Brych's name for the rest of the tournament. From that point of view, then I say Mateu for the final...if it's to be delirious let's go for it :)
DeleteThe funniest part is that he still thinks Brych can whistle the final OMG!!!
DeleteMy opinion is totally different. As a leader I see Rapallini, then Cakir, than Makellie.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Rapallini has no chances. He's been decent, even though way behind Çakir, Taylor or Makkelie, but he's not European...
DeleteI’m glad that the quality of this blog is protected by Mikael and Chefren. I really don’t like the comments that are abusive and negative towards the referees because of other opinions in a trolling way, many times by anonymous people. Question: why not prevend anonymous people to react? Keep up the good work Guys and keep this blog for the really interesten and professional opinions
ReplyDeleteAgree, Marjon
