    Does anyone know why in UEFA women's competitions a mixed nationality ref crew is allowed? (e.g. Lyon - Chelsea from 5 different countries)

      It's because UEFA thinks if you are good enough to referee in the men's top flight then you must also referee in the WCL. Apart from Kateryna Monzul who always had a female trio, the others have often been the only woman in the team

    Busy game for Welch in Paris

    27' 75' YC for SPA (Of the semi-SPA kind. Expected 5 years ago, but wouldn't have been given in the 2022 WC)
    37' YC for dissent. Can't comment on words used, but if for the gesture, a tough one. Did dissent exist? Absolutely. However it wasn't very strong and I can't help but feel it wouldn't have been given in a mens game. I feel like women are held to a different standard when it comes to dissent sometimes so the player could feel harsh done to, however I would have no complaints if this was punished more frequently and fairly.
    54' OFR recommened by England to overturn penalty. There was knee-on-knee contact after the Wolfsburg player played the ball. Some may feel this punishable however I agree with the OFR as contact was minimal and the ball was fairly played, no follow through.
    61' 2YC for PSG player booked after 37' dissent, again after an OFR. Penalty was awarded for handball (clear unnatural position), which was understandably not detected live (although it could have been). From best replays header looked on target so by Uefa standards 2YC/RC likely deemed correct. Another player booked for dissent also.
    85' 2 final cautions issued. One delayed after a much earlier advantage, so good memory, although seemed harsh without any good replay. The other caution was correct for a reckless challenge.

      Thanks! My opinions.

      I think the YC in 27' (26:20) was given for reckless challenge and not SPA? I agree that it was reckless. Still, the classic delay before showing a card by an English referee.
      In 75' I fully agree with yor analysis "semi SPA", not wrong by book, but to be avoided in today football. Easy card.
      37': Mandatory YC for dissent for the gesture against assistant referee, the reason for which it was given is that player made it exactly in front of the officials, they couldn't close eyes, in this case I disagree with you, in Men's game should have been the same. Nevertheless, it is true that there are worst behavior not punished, but that's anoter point for discussion ;)
      54': for me for the reason you exactly reported (the contact after having played ball by defender) there are no elements to say that the penalty was clearly wrong, I'm the first who can think that attacker created a bit of contact, but since this existed, impossible to question. By analyzing the OFR, I think VAR point of view was that the subsequent contact was absolutely unimportant, focusing only on the played ball before by Wolfsburg player, this maybe can't be enough... to sum for mer wrong OFR due to protocol more open choice like we see always in Premier League and indeed this came from an English (England :) officials.. committee can have both arguments, and it is difficult, but to me OFR should be rather wrong, because made with a too particular analysis, missing in the overall view of the incident.
      61' Clear penalty, correct OFR, very difficult to see live, OK YC because shot on goal.
      85' first YC correct for reckless challenge, still a certain delay before issuing it,
