WWC Referee Assignments

[gkeck]

I have not seen any assignments posted yet. However, I noticed that Sandra Hunt was the 4th Official on 2 games, back to back. I also noted on the list of officials that Rachel Woo is not longer on the list of 4th Officials. I believe I had heard she was injured. Can anybody tell me what game the US crew got on the first weekend? How about Sonja Denencourt?

Hey Alberto, are you going to do the referee review a la the ones you did during the Men's World Cup last summer?

I found those very interesting and informative.

I'll try, but right now with outdoor season in full swing it will be difficult to see matches and report on them in a timely manner.

Did anyone watch this game?

Was wondering what you thought about the red card. I don't know any spanish, so don't know what the announcers said about it. But... as for me, I found it some what a mysterious and harsh decision. If that "foul" sets the standard of Serious Foul Play in this WWC, there are sure to be many teams playing short a player or two, or three....

Just MHO...

I thought that Zhang did a fine job in the US-Sweden match. However, isn't it unusual for her to being doing the France-Korea Rep. match on Wednesday since she and KOR are from the same region?

Denoncourt was masterful in the China-Ghana match.
