My expectations
July
ReplyDeleteIf Makkelie in Flu-AlHilal, maybe:
ReplyDeletePSG vs Bayern: Eskas
Real vs BVB: Oliver
Eskås wasn’t good at all in LAFC-Esperance and he has 3 games as fourth official in a row so…i don’t think so.
DeleteMy prediction on finals
ReplyDeleteOliver/Ramos
Perfect game for Makkelie in a Qf. W FIFA
ReplyDeleteI think That Walter Lopes is from Guatemala . No from Honduras
ReplyDeletePleased to see Makkelie on duty. Collina is Collina, meritocracy still has some place. Faghani was predictable, but IMO somehow he's protected. Why not send him to UEFA clash? If Al Hilal going home and signs of Collina’s favoritism are arising, IMO Faghani would have his chance to get 4th assignment. My predictions: I expect Taylor in RMABVB and Cesar Ramos in PSGFBM (difficult to find another name if not broke neutrality and R16 repeated like Tello). Beida is another name but would be landmark assignment if he get a UEFA clash in his "debut".
ReplyDeleteWalter lopez is am assistant referee from Honduras and Walter Lopes is a Guatemala referee. Sorry
ReplyDeleteBoth heated matches. Marcos Leonardo (Al Hilal) use to score agains't Fluminense while he was playing at Santos.
ReplyDeletePalmeiras with a terrible record with Chelsea and a trauma after they lost the Intercontinental Cup 2021.
Makkelie with a good tournament, while it's now clear that there was all Collina's focus on Faghani, expected to have this path in all cases, unless extremely poor performances. Many things were planned before the start of the tournament, it's very hard to understand how much technical assessment has been made. For example, the referee from UZB, at the end of his experience, given the FO role with Faghani, could have definitely got another game. He performed similarly, I will not say better, but at least on a similar level to Faghani, but you have Faghani ahead. That's how it seems FIFA works.
ReplyDeleteAbout the other two games, now it becomes difficult for Beida, nevertheless, having to make a choice between the two, I would see him rather in Real - Borussia, than the other with Bayern and PSG.
This would be an oustanding assignment, but at this point I rather think it will not happen (wishing that I'm wrong). The sad thing would be to see Ramos in one of those games, and we can be definitely afraid that it will happen.
But if Faghani and Tantashev performed on the same level, it is quite logical to give Faghani the bigger assignments, because he is far ahead in terms of experience and reputation. Nothing wrong about that IMO.
Delete(1) Why hasn’t VAR/AVAR/SVAR been announced yet?
ReplyDelete(2) Why have the above appointments not yet been published on the FIFA website?
PSG vs BM Beida
ReplyDeleteRMD vs BVB Abatti
Am I the only one assuming that, in case of Inter-City quarter-final, Turpin would have been the natural choice over Makkelie?
ReplyDeleteAnd that the unexpected Fluminense–Al Hilal fixture may have “forced” a reshuffle in the FIFA’s plans?
Your opinion could be correct. I agree
DeleteCollina is well-known for carefully matching refereeing styles to the nature of each game. Turpin’s laid-back approach is likely not ideal for a fixture like Fluminense vs Al Hilal—especially considering there are several Brazilians in the Saudi side.
DeleteI expect Makkelie will be facing a very(!) challenging match and needs to be on top of his level.
If meritocracy truly prevails, Ramos should be out. Beida should get PSGBAY and Turpin RMABVB.
ReplyDeleteMy predictions:
ReplyDeletePSG vs Bayern: Eskas/Nyberg
Real vs BVB: Oliver
Fluminense - Al Hilal vs Palmeiras / Chelsea: Letexier/Turpin
PSG/Bayern vs Real/BVB: Tello
Final: Marciniak
IMO all 4th official referees in 1/8 have just been out as main referee at this tournament. Final for sure no for Marciniak, Taylor or Valenzuela because all of them have World Club Final in their CV.
DeleteMy dear friends, I know we are discussing the refereeing schedules for this Club World Cup, but let us not forget to turn our thoughts to the family of Diogo Jota, a Liverpool and Portuguese national team player, who lost his life prematurely in a car accident in Spain along with his brother. Our condolences to his family and friends.
