No kidding. I remember 4 years ago. Felix Brych, I think his name was, the German ref, had a game like Elfath’s yesterday and still got a...
Mass Ref, you have Lahoz getting the Qatar 2nd game fwiw. I really enjoy this forum guys. Thanks for all you do.
This was posted in the FIFA tournaments forum by pjdonald: Last pot 1 spot: 1) Portugal - with any win (Tue) (incl penalties) 2) Next up Ned -...
Wasn’t sure where to post this question guys, but it reflects my thoughts on guys like Hategan. It “appeared” he got penalized for his red card...
Here is a reasonable response from a fan of referees that doesn’t care about any team in this tournament. I follow all sports including golf,...
Gotcha. Yeah those are the best. I was really referring to group stage as all refs seem to get a game. Which the opener obviously qualifies....
Hi gang. Got a question for you refs that pertains to the assignment discussion. If you are or could referee in a big tournament like this,...
No kidding. Saw it live and said well there shouldn't be anything to discuss here...
Well you got both in huge Group D games. Dias gets the two leaders and Rapanalli gets the two fighting for a third place advancement spot....
Guys, would y'all consider this the "least of the best" so far in this tournament? Or am I reading the posts wrong in this thread? Thanks for...
Makes sense. So Kuipers may be held for Russia v Finland. I seem to remember y’all talking him up in past big events. Also did the referee...
Just to be clear, here is my link showing 18 not 19 referees....
Love reading you guys posts. Got a question. The euro site says 18 refs and does not list the one from Argentina. He seems like a fish out of...
Berhalter’s scouting looked good last night. Let’s hope Boyd can keep playing this way against better competition.
Thanks. See my other post. Only other reaction so far is Ream is not international quality. Am I right?
Thank you. Obviously, I am a novice. Played youth soccer only. Btw, Ream does not look good enough to me. Am I right on that?
Long time since I posted, but can we safely say Boyd is a starter now? What about Arriola? And help me out regulars, what positions are they? I...
Sorry was out of town for two weeks and couldn't get my IPAD to let me login here. We probably should have known Lahoz was not getting a...
Good job MassRef. Now the $24 question. Will the referee from Tahiti take charge of Tunisia vs Panama on Gameday 3?
I know you are right, but didn’t the ref from Italy have Germany three times last Cup?
MassRef is right about being a little early. The one I remember in particular is Collina from Italy in 2002. He had a great round of 16 match...
So MassRef, from what you said in another thread, all but one ref in each group should see the field? Yes I know Mirdasi is not here due to...
VAR has been talked about during the in game threads here bud.
Only person I can see that will miss a game is someone named Freddy Guarin for Colombia. I have no idea if he is one of their better players or not.
No yellows do not carry over. But red cards do. I haven't seen if there were any in the other confederations.
