Germany - Denmark (8.3)

Very good advantage prior to 3-0 goal and well spotted handball penalty live (hand over the head while sliding, input from AR1?). Flawless apart from missed handball in the wall (87') and YC for SPA (42', 90'). Very firm, serious and elegant but also able to talk to players. A less tyrannical authority than say Ekberg.  

Croatia - England (8.4)

Clear penalty for trip whistled live (10'), correctly rejected another penalty appeal (22'). Flawless apart from missed trip-SPA (68'). Again good management presented (e.g here

Germany - Romania, Semifinal (7.9)

Missed reckless stamp of German defender in the penalty area but penalty was given after an OFR (25'), well spotted holding slightly inside penalty area and penalty given for that (50'), perfect decision to send off Romanian player for DOGSO-holding offence outside the penalty area even though the play continued for a second (90+2'). 

In the first half he tried to be more permissive than in previous games but he didn't feel that and changed that approach in the second half.
