it was clear that he was poor and that his decision making, and that of the VAR team, which is even harder to understand, was very detrimental to England. i don't adhere to any of the conspiracy theories, but the outcomes were clear to see by anyone that understands the game. Upamecano and Hernandez could have had four bookings each. it wasn't a game in which the challenges were sly and that the referee was conned, many of them were just openly desperate/clumsy, but play was waved on.. and then fair tackles by England were unjustly punished.
Well, I'm sure that you and your advisors are better placed than professional referees to comment.....planteria wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16 2022 5:31pmit was clear that he was poor and that his decision making, and that of the VAR team, which is even harder to understand, was very detrimental to England. i don't adhere to any of the conspiracy theories, but the outcomes were clear to see by anyone that understands the game.

the delay for the penalty certainly wasn't helpful blyth, but at his level he has to have the mental strength to hit the target regardless. despite the frustration re what had gone before, the second pen goes in, the momentum swings, and it could have been very different.
many said 'the winner of this quarter goes on to win the World Cup'. let's hope so.
Always the stock reply to anyone who challenges the status quo...... as I recall during the recent "divorce process" - how well did that go? The good news is, that like then, my opinion is shared by most of the world - the England team were good, but not good enough.
