    1. Yep,everybody is talking about 18 YC's.

      Nobody is saying and analizyng whether they were deserved.

      That's the modern refereeing-stay out of focus,show less and you are great.

      Delete
    2. 18 YC, and everyone of them was deserved!!! He would have been better off to give himself a RC at the start of the game!

    1. "However, the referee does not determine how many extra minutes are played, but the VAR in consultation with the fourth official."

      Really? I didn't know it works like this. Frankly, it sounds stupid, the referee should be the one who decide the amount of added time.

    3. Could someone please explain how it works? @Chefren
      I thought there is a stopwatch that timed the time lost through substitutions and injury stoppages, and the referee has nothing to do with it

      Delete
    4. In the LOTG it's clearly stated the the referee is the only one in title to determine the play time (2 half of 45 min) and the extra time

      Delete
    5. Nope.

      Shortly before the end of the 45th and 90th minute, the referee says what the stoppage time will be for him, and then the VAR room informs the referee what the stoppage time will be for them.
      In the end, the referee will decide what the stoppage time will be.

      Also, the referee cannot whistle the end until he receives feedback from the var room whether a check is in progress.

  8. SPA - GER: Makkelie
    POR - FRA: Taylor
    Semi final: Marciniak

    NED - TUR: Vincic
    ENG - SWI: Turpin
    Semi final: Orsato

    Final: Vincic

    Soares Dias had very consistent games, and if Portugal loses on Friday, he may shuffles all the appointments for Semis or even the final.

  11. With both English officials in the quarter finals does that indicate that will be the end of there tournament

    1. For Oliver, I think so, and Taylor might still get the semi-final.

      Delete
  12. Oliver confirmed for POR-FRA and Taylor for GER-SPA

    ReplyDelete
  13. Probably mean that UEFA retain Marciniak for one of semifinals!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Why 2 English referees in 4 quarterfinals? That's not particularly balanced and Oliver has only just had a round of 16 match

    ReplyDelete
  15. Marciniak fourth official, POR - FRA was on paper a game for him.
    I think they selected Oliver because they didn't want to appoint Marciniak for another game, difficult to see him main referee again after fourth official duties. If so, all the rest should be already planned. Still no Turpin, that's normal based on performances, but then why he was kept...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. What did Marciniak worse than Oliver?
      I don't understand why two games for Oliver straight after each other.
      Marciniak had no bad performances so far (or worse than Oliver)

      Delete
    2. The discussions about the Polish are not related about his performances at EURO, we know.
      To me, it's possible committee had a discussion (delay with appointments) not agreeing about appointing Marciniak and at the end they just selected the English to make a different choice. We will see whether the Polish, as I guess, will not guess another game. Oliver appointment is too strange, immediately on the field again after a few time, with committee having other options on paper, and two English in Quarterfinals...

      Delete
    3. Brych had a Ro16, QF and SF last time I believe, so no problem for Oliver to have 2 games however, I had Marciniak as referee for that match. So, they keep him for a SF 2 in my opinion.
      Kruzliak 4th official at this stage is a strange one considering he wasn't used in the Ro16.
      Frolich observer for Oliver again is also a bit strange for me.

      Delete
  16. Would not be the first time that 4th officials was latter appointed in quarterfinals/semifinals. In Euro 2016 Brych/Kuipers/Eriksson was 4th officials in round of 16, and latter, they was appointed in quarter/semifinals! Everything is possible, but I dont see Turpin in later stages.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Maybe UEFA just felt, that both English referees were so good, that they must get another game. And with the English team still in the competition, those were the only options.
    Marciniak could still get a SF though, I think. Or the final...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Taylor’s appointment expected Oliver’s appointment quite out of the blue, I’m not sure if this was the original appointment by the committee and then maybe something had to change. Also what do we read into if anything Rossetti observing Taylor ??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I think, if Taylor performs well again and England are eliminated, Rossetti will decide between Taylor and Orsato for the final. The other gets a semi final along with Marciniak

      Delete
  19. Would have been more sensible to have the VARs the other way around to avoid Attwell repeating Germany (who even had some "VAR helps Germany" headlines) and van Boekel repeating France.

  20. Tip
    Semifinale 1 Vinic
    Semifinale 2 Marciniak
    Finale Orsato

    1. Be a bit strange to see Vincic in a SF without any previous KO matches imo.

      Delete
    2. It's strange, but it was made on Fifa world cup 2014

      Delete
    3. After excellent performances, which is not the case of Vincic with all due respect

      Delete
  21. Oliver's appointment is strange and rather undeserved imo. He had missed a clear handball penalty that was not difficult to spot. And his performance was criticized by media, so I don't understand on what considerations they appointed him. Taylor's appointment is expected, nothing to add here, and Rosetti presence there should not mean anything particular.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That handball wan't actually easy to spot live imo. They have appointed him on politics and a decent scores from observers. The media may have been critical, however, his decisions were correct!!

      Delete
    2. Overall the performance was satisfactory. The handball was very difficult to see, as the referee was positioned correctly but covered by the body of the player touching the ball with his arm.

      Delete
  22. Will UEFA announce the nominations for the last two quarterfinals today or only tomorrow?

    ReplyDelete
  23. With Oliver appointed again after R16, one can wonder, whether Letexier is also an option for the QF. Double French on Saturday maybe?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well That wouldn't surprise me at all!!

      Delete
    2. Letexier is leaving for the Olympics, so it is unlikely that he will referee anything else and that they will keep him there like Nyberg

      Delete
  24. Olivers's performance was Not so good that He deserved another Game. Rosetti should finally disappear.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow. Oliver appointed is a shocker, even more so with Marciniak as 4th Official. I think it is fair to say committe is completly lacking names. FRA-POR in a quarter-final looks quite big for Oliver not only with his profile, but also his tournament performances (neither good nor bad imo).
    Almost all "big" names seem to be rejected or doubted.
    Makkelie dubiously rejected, Orsato probably saved himself. Turpin with a bad start and an average recovery game. Maybe we see him Saturday but I am not so sure. Kovacs was impossible to keep after a war game he at least managed badly. Vincic could also have been rejected for ESP-ITA, surely tho he missplayed his cards to get something really big (Friday QFs bigger then Saturday QFs). Marciniak very harshly not given any chance over a single error prior to the EURO.

    I´d guess now Letexier should be save. And either Vincic or Turpin (who missplayed it less in committes eyes) for the other game. But who the hell gets the semis. Now Soares Dias? 3 months ago Chefren didnt even predict him to attend the EURO. And repeating Taylor in a semi, hoping England are eliminated? Also after a mediocre season. Maybe even Nyberg with a semi-final which would be way too much for him.

    Either way it is save to say. It is all a big mess.

    1. -> "Either way, it is safe to say it's all a big mess".
      Exactly.

      Delete
    2. That pretty much sums it up.
      There is no logic, there is politics somewhat.....
      We can now expect everything….
      5 games without assignments: Orsato, Vincic, Diaz, Tello and still Marciniak

      Delete
    3. Agree, it is a total mess at this point. It all started to go wrong with the appointments in MD3. There were a lot of dubious choices that narrowed by a lot the number of options for the KO. There were still options for the first KO round but now they are really in trouble. The MD3 had the worst / uninspired set of appointments in a final tournament in the recent history. I highlighted the problem even then, but to my surprise some defended the Com for their choices. The appointments were poorly made and the performances were poor in general, maybe as a consequence. The Com made the mess, I am really curious to see how they will solve it. If they can.

      Delete
    4. They can't in my opinion...
      To me, the choice with Oliver looks like something made up at the last minute. I think Marciniak was there and something happened at the last minute.
      For MD 3, some things happened the same way.
      A forecast for tomorrow is also difficult, precisely because of this. I allow an agreement with the South Americans for at least 1/4 final of Tello, Diaz deserves one more match....I guess the last three matches are : Vincic, Marciniak and Orsato.

      Delete
  26. The nominations today make it very clear that referee for the final will come from this round. I guess Vincic and Turpin will be announced tomorrow.

    Orsato and Marciniak for semis.

    Rossetti preference would probably be an English referee (they are the best managing emotions, either their own and the players).
    If England make it to the final, then Turpin or Vincic, whoever performs better, if France doesn’t go the final.

    *Soares Dias can’t be discarded, I think he has been the best referee so far, and after seeing Oliver appointed today, he could be appointed for England vs Switzerland, or be a choice if no good alternatives/ performances are left for the Final

    ReplyDelete
  27. I really dont know(I respect what all speaking while it is constructive), but someone still waste time about speaking who will be in the final, when all of us know that it will be Orsato. Better to spoke about tomorow and semis.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Well, I will also said that based on qulaity deserved appoint of Oliver. Taylor was logical. Still unkonwn what was with Marciniak, possible save for semis!

  29. Why is experienced Romanian referee Hategan at Olympia and unexperienced Catalina Popa at Euro?

  33. No penalty?

    https://youtu.be/w_YVI35NtTc?si=zubPO9kYM5Vffwra

    J.Valenzuela was main ref,VAR were Mauro Vigliano ARG)and Jonny Bossio(PER)

    Now,in Brazilian media stories are and will be that argentine var did not give penalty on purpose.

    I cant see how this was not a penalty.

    Copa America refereeing this year has been controversial, to say the least.

    Also,no RC was shown in Costa Rica-Paraguay match for blatant elbow off the ball.

    But I guess elbows off the ball are pretty normal.

    We in Europe should be thankful for level of referreeing that we're seeing cause just look at other federations

    Scandalous refereeing.

    1. And he ended the match with a possible penalty not been checked by var because he ended the match... a lot of players around him, was a very difficult match. Unfortunately it's been very difficult to watch Copa America.

      Delete
    2. Feels like Copa America has had too many controversial decisions/non decisions from every round of games. Can’t see how VAR justifies this tackle, it seems like a very clear and easy decisions to make.

      Delete
    3. No penalty confirmed due to "defender touching the ball with the lower part of his foot on the ground", I don't know if I should laugh or cry tbh

  34. As i sad before ... Oliver deserved another match.

  35. According to Swedish website Fotbollskanalen (lit. The Football Channel), Nyberg has been sent home: https://www.fotbollskanalen.se/em-2024/glenn-nybergs-em-over-har-lamnat-tyskland/

    Not really surprising, I don't think he was ever getting another game regardless of his performance in FRABEL. Maybe he could've stayed as a 4O, but it's probably better for him to home and prepare for the Olympics. Very good first big tournament for him though, hopefully many more to come!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow! I'm really surprised with Oliver's appointment for big clash like Portugal-France.

    To be honest I think that Oliver is #9-10 in UEFA ranking, and now he gets very sonorous game! Marciniak in FO role - for me is another form spitting for his face.

    Taylor's appointment - deserved and expected.

    In UEFA competitions Taylor is clearly ahead than Oliver, but:
    Big tournaments:
    EURO24 - Oliver 4 games (max QF), Taylor 3 games (max QF)
    WC2022 - Oliver 3 games (max QF), Taylor 2 games (only GS, no KO!)
    EURO20 - Oliver 3 games (max QF), Taylor 3 games (max R16)

    Simultaneosly big finals:
    Taylor 4: EL 2023, CWC 2022, NL 2021, SuperCup 2020
    Oliver 1: SuperCup 2022

    Oliver has a more big and sonorous matches in tournaments (every time he was better than Taylor in terms of appointments), but Taylor has 4 big finals!

    1. Big finals for referees CL, EL, ECL, WC, CWC, SC (only active at Euro tournament):
      Marciniak 4 (WC, CL, CWC, SC)
      Taylor 4 (EL, CWC, NL, SC)
      Turpin 2 (CL, EL)
      Vincić 2 (CL, EL)
      Kovacs 2 (EL, ECL)
      Orsato 1 (CL)
      Makkelie 1 (EL)
      Soares Dias 1 (ECL)
      Oliver 1 (SC)

      And bonus!
      Kuipers 6 (EURO, CL, ELx2, ConfCup, SC)
      Cakir 2 (CL, CWC)

      To be honest - for me Taylor is already over(finals)appointments!

  38. There are many people who do not like Ronaldo. A very good soccer player but many consider a spoiled brat. Who thinks the game revolves around him. Is Rosetti trying to punish Ronaldo by assigning Oliver to this game? Oliver is a straight
    By the book referee who has little room for discretion and little room for the emotional responses of southern Europeans. Ronaldo will not last the entire game unless Oliver goes into his withdrawn and passive self. Has Oliver learn from his RM vs Juventus experience?
