Good to use a European based ref.. the South American ones have been disturbing average by comparison.. maybe VAR team could get their act together too.. too many inexplicable decisions.. Morocco robbed a of a definite pen yesterday for example.. England too etc

He must bench press like three soccer players.

Why do most American football refs have a grandpa bod?

Replying to Gen-Jinjur (#940,040)

Because it’s a part time job and most of them don’t run much even during a game because of the size of the crew and positions. These soccer refs probably run 6-7 miles a game.

If I remember correctly the goal line technology sends a signal to the watch when a goal is scored. The mic is used for communication with the other officials including VAR. The goal line technology doesn’t need another official to tell the referee that goal line technology has detected a goal.

Anyone that knows football more than I do, is there a specific reason for two watches?

When I was a (low-level, admittedly) referee, I'd wear two watches in case one failed, or if I forgot to start one of them. Funny how it's easy to forget one watch, but not two, especially when you're trying to keep them both in sync.

He screwed Australia in that game. We were Cleary the dominant side all game and he just handed it to the Argentinians because FIFA wanted the powerhouses like Australia out of the tournament.

You had me hook, line and sinker until the last sentence.

In all seriousness though, I felt that Aus did pretty well against Argentina. We just don't have a 'killer striker' who can change the flow of a game.

I didn't watch France vs Denmark very closely but the refereeing seemed fine there. In Argentina vs Australia i felt like the ref got fooled too often by Argentina's diving (especially Acuna) but other than that was ok.

This ref is probably the least controversial choice they could've made which I'm fine with.

I wish pierre luigi collina could’ve been physically fit to referee the final. It’s very obvious fifa influenced argentinas bracket. Basically gave them a free ride. And despite narrowly getting upset, the refs made favorable calls to Argentina. Brazil was the only threat and I would’ve loved to see them dance after defeating them. That penalty with Croatia completely set their morale of course and of course, favored Argentina. Collina will not take any bs from either side, or get influenced from fifa. He’s a man of respect and would not let shit slide or give favorable calls. I predict Argentina will get two penalties, plus a Messi golden goal. France two goals and a suspiciously denied pen or regular goal.

Great. Messi will still not get called for handballs and teams will spend their time diving.

Soccer is about as 'beautiful' of a game as Russian roulette.

Lol yeah that is quite the stretch. You could probably use a good keeper as well. And a couple more defenders. And a good central midfielder. And a forward. And some depth on the bench. But yeah, you’re at Argentina’s level.

You’re stupid if you don’t think favorable calls were made for Argentina dumb fuck. No one supports Messi like someone who isn’t from Argentina. Where abouts are you from then? How does Messi’s dick taste like
