All the media talk of Referees being “SENT HOME” is misleading.
There are only three games remaining . The large pool of officials are no required and so are returning home and probably very glad to be doing so.
The officials for the final will be shortlisted if not already decided upon and obviously dependant on the results of the semi finals.
For Referees the final would be the pinnacle of achievement.

Possibly the tip of a large Iceberg.
Quite a few crooks will squirm out of it.

Radio Stoke said something about 20k odd!
Looked about 12K to me ?

Not WC related but how bad was the Referee at Stoke today.?
An unbelievable denial of a penalty, and general inadequate ability. This was not a difficult game to referee and no debatable situations. Just kept getting things wrong.
Let’s hope England have no problems this evening.

Delap needs to be careful.
If he gets stuck in with this guy he could get sent off.
Terrible non decision 🤔

BRecently watched Once upon a Time in America, on Amazon Prime. Almost four hours long and I thought it was stunning. May well rewatch it in the new year. One of the best films ever. But what makes it really special is the soundtrack, composed by Ennio Morricone. I have a CD of it in my car and I love it to bits. One of those rare films I would give a 10/10. OS. Totally agree. When the WC football is over and bad weather in Jan I hope to watch it again.

Well I agree that the Messi hand ball decision off Messi was poor, but I don’t think that was the defining moment of his game.
It was a very difficult match to officiate. Yes he could possibly handled some situations better but when you have International Superstars cheating and rolling around in agony what do you do?
In the Uruguay game the Referee waived on play for a obvious dive and Pen appeal and ended up with a near riot.!, and much criticism .
The point of this thread was to discuss and think about the problems that officials have to face.

Moan about the Ref Pundits inc. Youdont know what you are talking about. He is having a GREAT game in a VERY difficult match. Michael Oliver had a good game but a walk in the park compared to this. He had one of the easiest decisions to make when Messi blatantly handballed it, he bottled it, he lost authority from that point Totally agree.

Good game.
Depending on the remaining Qtr & Sffinals and the next 30 mins Mich Oliver could be in the frame for a match a week on Sunday. ?
I hope he is disappointed as England thwart his ambition.

Well if there was ever an opportunity for a Ref to caution a player for diving Michael Oliver just , or bottled, it with Neymar.

If Brazil start the dancing bollocks Croatia should rush back to kick-off and go mental with the ref if he doesn't let them take it. Last game was a fucking farce - they'll be rolling out a stage and banging out fireworks after a goal at this rate! What should happen is if a goals scored then the team should be able to kick off as soon as they are ready if the opponents are dancing leave them to it. My understanding is that each team must have a min of seven players on the pitch. In addition if it did happen it would cause a riot🙂🤨

Croatia are looking far better than their previous games.
Has the makings of being a very good game.

It’s a four for me.
If of interest I today found on google a app for calculating my average score.
4:2 which I assume is fairly average ?

It has amazed me that it has been the first major report on TV news. Bloody rubbish.

Looks like this thread needs transferring to the EE board.
In the meantime I wonder if Harry will play on Saturday or is he still making a fortune on Netflix. Oops getting confused.🥳

As a matter of interest. Is the World Cup being reported on or even mentioned inside Russia?
You would think that the average citizen would wonder why they are not involved.
The media control of this conflict has been a major factor from all sides.
What line of deceit, or twisted truth has the Kremlin been feeding to the people?
