My goal for this summer is to get a tan like Vincic.
ReplyDeleteSpend some time in Miami with the FIFA referee camp haha!
Delete7’: Missed corner by AR2 and Vincic for Morocco.
ReplyDeleteSome problems with positioning in first 10 minutes for vincic.
ReplyDeleteYes, this is the second or third time that he has interfered with play and with the players involved in contesting for the ball…
DeleteWell, this is the best match so far in a terms of the rhythm and speed of the football... It is definitely hard to follow the play and to find the right spot on the field
DeleteSo we get a graphic for the very obvious onside before the Morocco goal but not for the Swiss penalty? All that will do is feed any conspiracies about whether the penalty was actually onside
ReplyDeleteMaybe the technologie don't work in all staduim
DeleteVincic's positioning is terrible.
ReplyDeleteVincic’s positionning and mouvements are absolutely shameful. Unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteBut good first YC at 38’ and no issue from technical performance by slovenian ref.
DeleteVincic's positioning is absolutely terrible, especially when Morocco is on the attack. I guess he didn't do his homework/analyse on the Moroccan team
ReplyDelete1+

ReplyDeleteI think Vincic has been very good so far. 2 correct cautions and decent accuracy in his decision making. His positioning hasn't been great but some of the above comments are very hyperbolic in their criticism
ReplyDeleteAgain now good second YC for Brazil. Disciplinary line is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAgree, just the positioning is not good

DeleteSPA or dissent?
ReplyDeleteTactical faoul
Deleteclear faul and yc missed

DeleteA missed caution for reckless. In fairness, difficult to see for Vincic
ReplyDeleteClear YC missed and maybe more at the end of the half.
ReplyDeleteMissed very clear reckless caution for foul committed against Vinicius. No foul called.
ReplyDeleteFoul forgotten on Vinicius at the end but very difficult to assess live. I was ok first with the no foul decision.
ReplyDeleteGood half performance i think but i dont like jeryeys

DeleteVincic not convincing in this halftime. Worst positioning, missed a lot of fouls and instable in your gestures. As positive, only YC applied. Maybe in 2nd half can lost match control if he persist with this terrible style

DeleteGood first half for my taste, I cannot agree with some of the comments above. Vinčić applied an optimal foul threshold while maintaining the flow of the game, he seems to be very alert regarding specific fouls/players that may generate some conflicts. Disciplinary line was adequate for me in general, good YC in 37' and 43' for tactical fouls. However, a rather bad miss in 45+3' for a foul on Vinicius, definitely worthy of a caution for my taste. It was rather difficult to properly perceive and assess, but it definitely tarnishes the performance (I'm really curious to see how Vinicius will behave after this, his reactions after the HT whistle were terrible as usual).
ReplyDeleteI do agree Vinčić's positioning is definitely suboptimal, but I wouldn't use some of the stronger words I read above.
another clear yc missed

DeleteAnother missed YC,very clear that Vincic should have seen.
ReplyDeleteWe went from excellent disciplinary line to questionable.
Agree.
DeleteUnfortunately agree as well. Very clear caution.
DeleteAnother missed caution for a very similar foul. This one with a higher point of contact
ReplyDeleteAnother missed YC for the same foul
ReplyDeleteMissed blatant YC for Guimaraes by Vincic.
ReplyDeletePoor from Vincic to miss so obvious YC
ReplyDeleteMissed yellow for Hakimi...
ReplyDeleteClear SPA by Fabinho no YC

DeleteAnd I cant figure it out why all of a sudden he became typical lenient ref that he always is..
ReplyDeleteEverything was going so well when he handled the match by the book.
Now again,Thiago with late foul that will probably be just another verbal warning.
some people here want 10 YC in a pretty fair match. What happens if a ref follows that line can be seen in the infamous Kovacs match (Czechia-Turkey) from the last Euros. Everyone that has watched any CL games officiated by Vincic knows exactly what they're getting.
ReplyDeleteNo,but why did he not give YC's that were crystal clear?
DeleteHakimi and Guimares.
Those were stonewall YC's that needed to be shown without number 10 to 15.
Multiplication of fouls and too lenient line by Vincic IMO to let players doing whatever they want with infringments…
ReplyDeleteMissed hands to face, possible reckless right after, DFK given. 59’

DeleteVery hard day for Vincic in the technical aspect.
Typical Vincic performance. Technical mistakes but strong communication, control and a general feeling for the game. All in all it‘s okay.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, typical Vincic. Exactly why I’m not a fan of him.
Delete+1 Very well said.
DeleteFrom a technical perspective not an expected level performance by Vincic. Yes, full control, good communication, but too many obvious and reckless fouls missed. Still no big mistakes in respect to the outcome of the match though.
ReplyDeleteSo much for no coaching during goalkeeper injuries
