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?
Seitz and company did the Norway-France match. http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/03/mr/01_0920_PHI_NOR-FRA_Fulltime.pdf The Swiss Miss had DPRK-Nigeria http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/03/mr/02_0920_PHI_NGA-PRK_Fulltime.pdf Germany-Canada was done by the Koreans. http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/03/mr/03_0920_COL_GER-CAN_Fulltime.pdf The Finn, Katriina Elovirta, is doing Japan-Argentina.
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.

Japan-Argentina - red card? 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...
Re: Japan-Argentina - red card? Australia better watch out against China on Thursday. 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.
