This is the correct mechanic if you're not starting the count at an obvious time. Otherwise, it's just too many whistles, especially if the team...
So... futsal then. :)
It was already addressed by @ManiacalClown VAR send down in the 26th (or so) for a possible penalty. Not given. Did lead to a caution to a TFC...
Ah, my bad on that.
Youcef is a current NextGen referee. Jason and Phil are both past NextGen ARs. Edit: (corrected thanks to Bradley)
Not sure on nose rings, but did see the backing of a small stud earring end up embedded in a woman's neck about 7 years ago when a ball hit her on...
Good fun situation in the 74th in the EVE v AVL match. Ball tackled out for a throw right in the AVL corner... EVE player given a caution for the...
Lauzere and Fischer are the only VMOs for Canada now. Chenard stepped off the list after the WWC.
On the Canadian side, Filip Dujic (Referee) and Gerard-Kader Lebuis (AR) were added to the list.
Idaknow, the Duran incident in the 86th was even better. Flash point, Villa player swings his arm at a Sheffield player, cutting him above the...

Why would you put someone into the sin bin? It's not supported in North America, neither the United States or Canada. I seriously doubt this...
I'm assuming you mean the BHA penalty that went to VAR... determined to have hit the player in the head, not the arm.
No worries about questioning. In theory, yes, it's easier to deal with at those levels. And I suspect that we won't really see much change at the...
Sin bins are already at that level in a number of countries around the world, including England.
I don't disagree, that's why I noted that the audio feed may have been a little off.
Definitely didn't need an OFR for this. It's an objective decision.
Interesting moment on the Jamaica goal in the 58th. FK given. Penso pushes the defenders back, puts whistle to her mouth, and by the sound on the...
There was, in fact, an incident between Korea and Brazil at one of the Olympic games a number of years ago (2012 maybe?) where a Brazilian...
The broadcast here (Canada) stated "Penalty being reviewed" (for both incidents). And I didn't see any cards before or after the OFR.
The rationale stated on the feed I was watching was that there was a defender close enough behind him to make it non-obvious that it would've been...
But, it would've created a 2v1 from that point forward, because all of the other Liverpool players (other than one) were extremely close to the...
Either call is supportable here I think. In the opinion of the referee, the other defender couldn't cover and the likelihood of control was high....
You only need to whistle for a dropped ball on certain occasions (ie, substitution). If you're going to whistle, whistle to get everyone's...
This is almost correct. If it's accidental handball, makes the pass, and the teammate scores... not an offence. Only if it's accidental handball...
