Two remarks.
ReplyDeleteMoen having his debut as UEFA Observer at this tournament, I think he was never appointed before. And this is surely remarkable. Given his extremely long experience of a rather "recent" Elite referee and maybe still active in Norway until a few time ago, he can surely start from a different position than others.
About Italy, once again after the change of assistant referees Colombo had for the CONMEBOL tournament, now the previous one, he was a NO FIFA, Ceccon, has been replaced by a FIFA one (Perrotti). It seems it happened again that AIA made a wrong choice by sending a NO FIFA, if UEFA left the choice to the respective domestic federations about the assistant referees. He was indeed the only NO FIFA official at this tournament. Very poor management by AIA that seems to have also lost experienced people in terms of international assignments and duties.
Curious to watch Alberola Rojas' performance.

We need VAR for all the competitions organised by UEFA. I don't think so, that UEFA has no money for using VAR in this competition. A lot of controversial situations was last night in Romania vs Spain game, with Henessy. A possible penalty for Romanian, and also a goal dissalowed for offside after a corner kick, but with didn't see a replay. Very poor broadcasting by Uefa the game, we didn't saw a lot of replays. I think, Spain didn't need help from the referee.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I never saw worse broadcast of UEFA tournament. Almost no replays of important calls.
DeleteSpanish referee in Germany's third group stage game was not that smart considering they now play each other.
ReplyDeleteDue to injuries Germany miss some players, but also Wätjen who got his second yellow card in the tournament for running onto the pitch as one of many after injury time winner (lack of awareness?) and the coach who said in an interview that the fouth official immediately apologized to him saying "I am sorry. That was nothing"
The yc for Konadu in minute 19 says everything that you want to know about Colombo performance
ReplyDeletehttps://streambug.org/cv/2c5dde
DeleteReason of the card: theatrical fall.
This is Colombo, a refere with a maybe too big personality and he doesn't want to be deceived on the pitch. He is very harsh with players. He can absolutely remind of Maresca and his style. He doesn't look for any compromise. This can be the limit, but this is also the reason why he is the best at moment among the Italian referees, big courage in taking all decisions.
Very often I think, if I say to a referee that he should change in this regard, he wouldn't be anymore the same (good) referee, we had the example with Maresca...
Im sorry but yc for a theatrical fall(?) is a crazy here. I understand what you're saying about his personality. I haven't seen him whistle much but he's very present. This is personally not quite my taste
DeleteI don’t think it was given for a theatrical fall, because a DFK was awarded to the defensive team instead of an IFK.
DeleteBut whatever the reason, theatrical fall or foul, a blatantly wrong decision in my view.
I think it's clear he called a reckless stamp on the Romanian defender, and I'm okay with the decision based on available footage.
DeleteAny word on Lothar D’hondt?
