I've heard the European announcers on Fox Soccer Match Pass pronounce it "Brick". Was that how it was pronounced?
That's fair. On rewatching, he had lots of catching up to do becuase he tried to pull up and put Shaqiri offside. Too bad the ball was played while Shaqiri was still in his own half, running at full speed. But as I said, if he could have caught him, that was the time to take a red card.
As far as I know, it's a long 'i' sound. For English speakers, it should basically rhyme with "bike."
Yes, in German "y" is Uepsilon and sounds similar to U umlaut. Think "oo" as in oops. ch is a soft and doesn't go to the hard k. Rather it's more like "sch" So with Brych you get Broosch. So amazingly the American broadcasters got it better than the Europeans.
'We are wondering why Serbia is the only team in the World Cup where the match official chose to ignore controversial situations at it raises the legitimate question whether the VAR is being used selectively.' They must not have watched Sweden-Germany.
Gotta love the photos Matic posted shownig him elbowing both defenders in the head and wondering why a foul got called on him
I’m very interested to see where—if at all—we see Brych in the UCL this season. He and his crew are essentially saying Collina and co. lied or at the very least deliberately threw them under the bus without clarification. That’s a difficult discrepancy to reconcile and I’m not sure how Collina can appoint a crew that is openly insubordinate.
Unless that AR already decided to retire from the panel and Brych is going to have another AR. Why would Collina have anything to do with UEFA appointments if he's at FIFA? Does he do both?
Call my cynical, but I'm siding with Brych and the crew here. It really makes no sense as to what we saw all tournament that VAR would choose to send that holding down on that cross at that stage of the tournament. There were countless and even more egregious holding calls on crosses prior to that game and countless more after that game that weren't sent down via VAR. Halfway through the tournament was where FIFA was going to make a stand on holding via VAR? Yet Brych chose to ignore his VAR there? If Brych really didn't heed his VARs advice, then wouldn't we have seen more instances of holding being sent down via VAR? It just doesn't add up. Someone is obviously flat out lieing here and I think Collina and FIFA are to try and save the image of VAR.
