Just seems normal that the referee gets his coin brought before the match...
ReplyDelete2' missed corner.
ReplyDeleteWhy VAR Guzman didn’t correct wrong GK decision here ? Sorry but that’s definitively a mess concerning VAR use !
Delete74 matches in and you're asking why VAR didn't turn a GK into a CK?
DeleteBecause VAR is only allowed to change a corner into a goal kick
DeleteIt was a correctly awarded goal kick
DeleteWas ironic…but not clear i guess lol. Just to say VAR use is completely disbalanced by the last procedure evolution.
DeleteJayed not convincing again, taking a while to spot head injury. Paraguay might make this tough for him…
ReplyDeleteI actually liked this. The player could easily rolled off pitch to avoid the 1 minute
DeleteIf Paraguay can keep this tied into the 2nd half it will get challenging.
DeleteI was a bit surprised PAR#4 had to wait a minute before being allowed to enter again. I was under the impression that the ‘1-minute off’ ruling does not apply if it concerns a head injury (as we’ ve seen earlier in the tournament).
DeleteThat depends on the severity of the injury. Only a serious injury allowed to stay on the field. Not just whether it's a head injury
DeleteThe 1 minute law applies whenever the referee requires that they leave the field of play.
DeleteI think he made a good call, a really good marker to lay down that he won’t tolerate play acting. For me, this is part of the pre-match analysis where they have identified that this is what this team do & early on making it clear that not only will he not fall for it. Not only that, he will make them leave the field if the game stops.
DeleteYes, there was contact but he embellished the contact looking for the free kick or card. They now know, he won’t tolerate it and for the rest of the card, you’ll see they tried to buy a few free kicks but no more of the behaviour.
Very good no foul call at 29’ with convincing body language, well done!
ReplyDelete35’ Wonderful
ReplyDeleteFoul awarded ‘22 just before hydration was way soft.
ReplyDeleteCould be a very difficult second half
ReplyDeleteDealing with paraguayan gamesmanship alone will be nearly impossible.
DeleteEasy 1st half for Jayed.
ReplyDeleteGood foul detection till now
ReplyDeleteCorrect first YC. It seems match is heating up a bit.
ReplyDelete1st YC for PAR. Clear one. But I would have prefered the one against GER for SPA a few minutes earlier
ReplyDeleteWhy did he stop now Germany's attack?
ReplyDeleteFor alleged GK infringment?
Then where is YC for Gomez?
Yes I think he saw the foul of PAR attacker and little push from Neuer after do he decided to stop the game.
DeleteSo *
DeleteI think for that, but that's only ever a FK. But yes, 100% advantage should have been played. And it would have been so much better if he raised his hand in apology, and apologized or had a humble smile with the players. Just looking away completely ignoring it wasn't a great look
Delete@DB +1
DeleteHorrible whistle to stop a dangerous germany moment. Completely no needed
ReplyDeleteThe whistle was qlready there before gk release the ball
DeleteIn any case, this is his last match in this tournament. It was a poor performance, and I did not like his behavior toward the players.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, referees from the African Confederation are not suitable for managing matches because they end up ruining them.
Behavior ? What behavior ? He seems to be silent and have the management and communication of… a ghost referee, with no charisma whatsoever and absolutely no personality or leadership qualities…
DeleteHes been excellent i think apart from his blip with preventing the free kick for Germany. Id definitely keep him as a 4th official and maybe even another game
ReplyDeleteNo way…
Delete@A16 +1
DeleteToo many here is faulth finders!!!!
