But if it has caused a decision not to focus on points, mostly on the basis of reviewing individual mistakes, then I think VAR is great success.... Much better to have a brief analysis on overall performance, match/player control, sense for the game, and consistency. And to remember that no two games are the same, so it is a special skill to adjust the approach to what each game needs.controling the game is paramounthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074846583139346932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596681196436096141.post-69252822513336973682018-06-17T20:12:45.684+02:002018-06-17T20:12:45.684+02:00I think that if Faghani had been a bit more assert...I think that if Faghani had been a bit more assertive in foul recognition in the first third of the match he would have been able to be more balanced in his decisions to card players later...for me he was too lenient to begin the match and it got him into a few tight places as the match wore on...Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15596003978664131956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596681196436096141.post-14879610478139896572018-06-17T19:54:53.096+02:002018-06-17T19:54:53.096+02:00I disagree.

As outlined below I think Faghani has a tendency to make a supercilious impression in body language, something I think is not the modern way of refereeing. Not on eye-level with players. In this regard, Kuipers and Rocchi were my favorites. And Pitana.refinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15512427830409288872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596681196436096141.post-37839179509035979702018-06-17T19:45:46.118+02:002018-06-17T19:45:46.118+02:00Overall Faghani handled quite an easy-going game w...Overall Faghani handled quite an easy-going game well, but with a quite high number of cards if we see how easy and fair it actually was. But ok, all were justified. A bit inconsistent if you give 2 cards for time wasting but add nothing then. Also I think he lacked awareness for balancing both sides at the start of the game, 3 free kicks not given for German side, of course this led to protests. <br /><br />I think Faghani mainly profits from a high level of displayed authority and confidence, he makes a 'superior' impression. A huge risk: This can make him seem arrogant, top-down and supercilious from time to time. In my opinion he was more in the focus than needed, more visible than needed.<br /><br />Overall, nonetheless, well done, good decisions.<br />refinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15512427830409288872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596681196436096141.post-87767673308961953972018-06-17T19:36:03.918+02:002018-06-17T19:36:03.918+02:00Michał Listkiewicz, former FIFA Referees Committee...Michał Listkiewicz, former FIFA Referees Committee member just lambasted Faghani.

Irmatov (Argentina doesn't accept him), Ricci (no Brazilian ref in WC games of Argentina) and Pitana (from Argentina) are automatically out... Geiger I'm not sure if FIFA trusts him for a Final... So in such a case it's either Alireza or some UEFA referee!
