  1. Yellow was not right jersey colour for Jalal is very similar to Curaçao. Pink will be the best option

    1. Curacao's jersey is blue though. I've not noticed any clash personally

    2. FIFA make the colour choices after the organisational meeting. Unlike uefa they also don’t have a change of colour for shirts and socks

  4. "The error calculation criteria for African Union referees are very poor, so I believe they will all return home after the group stage."

    1. You just wrote rubbish.

    2. It's too early to assume.

    3. Not the sort of comments we want to see on the blog. Take each match with each referee on its merits, taking into account the calls vs difficulty. If you want to say the same thing at the end of the group stage after taking everything into account? Sure

  5. Some positioning mistakes in sequence 33’ and 35’

  6. Jayed in the way twice so far. Also very animated when talking to players

  7. he seems incredibly on edge (not in a good way)...interjecting himself when no intervention is needed and getting in the way more than once...

  8. Corner retaken leading to Germany 2-1.

  9. Correct penalty. Otherwise relatively easy job in the 1H. Noticeable that his movement isn't best. Interfered with play several times

  10. Jayed's refereeing in the first half was calm. This is a game I'd like to officiate: two teams simply looking for good football and fair play. Some positioning errors, perhaps a little bit more talking in CK, but very good performance from the Moroccan!

  11. 27:35 AR doesn’t know the law and tells him go have the ball on the arc… It can overhang the corner arc. A FIFA assistant referee not knowing this in 2026 is unacceptable.

    1. I saw this in the Qatar match, I assumed the ball must have been over the line for the AR to be making such a point

  12. Very good onside call by the AR2

  13. Finally got the SAOT working and finally showing it near the incident in the match

    1. Yeah. Goal scored - 1min 04sec - SAOT broadcast

  14. Game went as expected, unless the early part of first half when Curaçao scored a historical goal. However, after that, the game was straightforward until the end.
    A positive note about the penalty whistled, correct decision, nothing more.
    I think the idea of Collina was about a performance like this, nothing more nothing less.
    Second game possible, but unknown whether possible or not to raise the level.

    1. Agree, expected level performance in a very straightforward game. Although I have to say the overall image presented was rather nervous, without actually connecting with the players during the whole match, and with some positioning issues on more than one occasion. On the other hand, he was actually positioned almost perfectly for the only "big" decision he had to take (the GER penalty) and, with an adequate disciplinary line presented, I think this was a performance everyone can be satisfied with. I sure hope he does get a second game.

  15. Good/standard pefromance from Jayed in easy match without big issues for officiating. Correct penalty called. Correct disciplinary! Expect to have second game, for more,we will see.

    1. Standard, yes. But not more. An easy game, but he was very nervous and I never got the feeling, that he would be able to be in control of a really much more difficult game . So he should get another easy group match, and that's it.

  16. Very nervous and agitated; failed to connect with the players. Performance was okay, without being seriously tested.
