Why Visser with Italian VARs ? Is that a bad sign for him ? The game isn't very attractive neither for the Belgian (maybe of medium interest if we are optimistic) while his Belgian "competitor" Lambrechts is in UCL again.
ReplyDeleteStrukan back with rather good games after a poor period.
ReplyDeleteSozza very far away from spotlights after the observation by committee member Velasco Carballo in the U21 play off in Croatia. For him a game involving an Israeli team on neutral ground.
To add, he is in a poor period in serie A. Negative performance in Genoa - Cagliari on last Sunday. Times are definitely not good for Italian FIFA referees at moment. Waiting for Colombo, we can't say that they are at the top at moment.
Pairetto back as VAR, interesting to observe that, one could have thought that after the mistake in Atlético - Lille, he would have ended the VAR assignments. Guida still out, the punishment for him is clear. Kruashvili in Europa League after the CL debut and observation by Sajn. Beaton with a game, Walsh disappearead after his early CL debut. No Schaerer at all, but he got a NL game.
Meanwhile, appointments for CL MD6 have been made, we have observers. It's interesting to point out hat they weren't made togeher with MD5 but committee didn't wait for MD5 outcomes. So very likely some "results" (indeed, Schaerer, among others?) from NL games.
Good appointment for Nyberg as far as EL goes, but it is surprising that he's only had 2 CL games so far. Performance wise a bit disappointing this season.
ReplyDeleteOther notes in terms of Swedish refereeing: Ekberg officially retires and Olofsson promoted to the male top flight.
