    It seems that Marciniak is saved for SF.

    Why the need to have Sampaio on NED again I just don't understand. Use him on another match. Poor appointment for me.

      Yes, I agree.
      You can also question, whether Sampaio deserved a R16 (or was the weakest CONMEBOL referee at the tournament).

      Unfortunately politics again come into play I suspect- I would expect to see and Argentine appointed to a R16 encounter too (possibly BRA v URU if that pans out tomorrow).

    The lack of communication from FIFA over VAR decisions in this tournament has fully highlighted the disconnect between the system and the watching fans; there is never any clarity offered at any juncture. Unlike in the Premier League, where the VAR feed is shared with broadcasters, FIFA controls/restricts the output. If VAR is to be truly accepted, this has to be vastly improved.

    I don't know where I can find the full assignments directly on the FIFA website - but will lady Nesbitt indeed still act as Reserve Assistant Referee this evening when she got meanwhile appointed as Assistant Referee for England - Senegal tomorrow?
