    Right you are, RefSoccer3412, he is from the Tyrol. Never to be mixed up with Germany!

    seems that all VARs from Germany are given a lot of trust

      For this set of quarterfinals, we have the trusted VAR but assigned to an AVAR from their country (full nationality) and not working like European competitions for clubs (mixed).
      They should be from stadium, I think, as KNVB informed that in play off the Dutch VAR team for Gozubuyuk will be in Pristina.

    Clearly committee considers Italy - Germany as the biggest one and here Letexier once again for a top game.
    To follow, one could have guessed the "nature" of the rest of appointments, with Elite like Eskas and Nyberg.
    On paper, Peljto could have been a candidate for something more, but he is still in development.
    Waiting for second legs choices, let's remember that semifinals and the final will be on June.

      As normally the "bigger" name gets the second leg, the options for GER-ITA are quite limited.
      Marciniak might still be blocked for German teams after the Bayern incident last season?
      Vincic had both teams in the group stage (and wasn't good in GER-NED), so not ideal.
      Turpin normally not possible as second French.
      So it should be Kovacs?

      Possibly. Vincic is not impossible, he didn't end GER-NED with major controversy, but he also had the German derby recently. The Nations League appointments were made prior to R16. Would be a poor appointment strategy.

      Kovacs should be favorite, but wouldn't be surprised to see Oliver or Makkelie there.

      Rosetti would appoint Letexier for both legs if possible.
      But I think in Germany it will be Vincic...

      I think 2nd legs could be something like this:
      ESP V NED: Kovacs or Turpin
      FRA v CRO: Taylor
      POR v DEN: Manzano
      GER v ITA: Makkelie

      Saving the SF's for Turpin (1st leg only) / Kovacs (whomever didn't referee the QF). Oliver, Marciniak & Vincic.

    I will eat my shoe when Letexier doesn’t get one of the UEFA finals this season :)

    Excellent appointment again for Letexier.

    Also noticing that the committee is starting to give more and more interesting games to Peljto and especially to Eskas.

    Surprised to see Nyberg here, I was starting to feel they forgot about him.

      The appointments probably were made after the CL PO, so it's indeed a good sign for Nyberg, that Benfica-Monaco doesn't prevent him getting this big NL QF. Should mean, that he remains a candidate for a CL QF, I think.

      And yes, also good achievement for Peljto and Eskas. I don't really expect a CL QF, but certainly a EL QF and/or SF.
