ReplyDeleteOT: Some predictions for matches in Round of 16,which are known for now:
ReplyDeleteMexico-England: Letexier
Paraguay-France: Elfath
Canada-Morocco- Abatti
Brazil-Norway: Faghani
Officials from UEFA in MEX ENG? I don't think it.
DeleteFaghani is a dreadful referee
DeleteYou could argue that a French speaking European is more ‘neutral’ than a Spanish speaking South American. Because it definitely won’t be Sampaio after the last WC. So logically if it’s not Faghani it’s a break
DeleteFaghani destroys the flow of games and he likes to be the centre of attention
DeleteGreat first half by martinez
ReplyDeleteMartinez calm, concentrated, clear, flawless in 1st half
ReplyDelete+ 1 (I like very much him. He reminds me Garcia Aranda a little bit).
DeleteMartinez has had great 1st halfs in all his games and then lets it go in the second half
ReplyDeleteI haven't really been following the referee in question, and to be honest, I don't know much about him.
ReplyDeleteBut from what I'm seeing in this second half, he doesn't seem confident. He failed to show a yellow card to the Senegalese player for the rough tackle on Trossard from behind.
Lets the senegal player get away with one and then books the Belgium for a similar challenge ,let himself down again in the second half
ReplyDeleteGueuye takes 30 seconds to get off the pitch and this joker does nothing.
ReplyDeleteSenegal YC may be a Red
ReplyDeleteAs two Belgians were in a confrontation before cooling break, if one of them cover his mouth is that a RC ? Or it’s just when you do it against an opponent.
ReplyDeleteOpponent only
