511816632

Spain v Croatia referee review

June 18th, 2012 | By: Andy | Comments Comments(4)

511788394
If you had said beforehand that Spain and Italy would qualify from this group, people would have shrugged and not thought much of it. Instead, a frenetic and tense end to Group C saw Spain within a Cassilas glove and Italy a despairing Buffon parry of going out. But more controversy was ... [read more]

We were finally at the crunch stage – two sides would go home, two would head to the quarters. Somehow the group was turned on its head with the hosts and group favourites going out and on a night of drama, the referees were certainly part of the action.

Tuesday’s referees reviewed

Unfortunately most the disciplinary action and disputes took place off the pitch yesterday with some unpleasant scenes between Polish and Russian “fans.” Thankfully however the intense atmosphere did not spoil the game but had some refereeing decisions gone the other way, we could have seen two very different sets of results.

Chelsea's Next: Josh Turnbull

While the big news of the day is that Chelsea is free to go after a fifty year old child manager of the utmost ability, it's backup keeper Ross Turnbull's son Josh who is stealing the show. After the final match there were some festivities on the pitch. Josh didn't ...

The Munich Philharmonic's Ode To Bayern

The Munich Philharmonic penned this little aria for their boys heading to England for the grandest match of the year on Saturday. Bounding around Google has surfaced nothing in the way of an English translation for the lyrics, but it's worth it simply to watch someone work 'Heynckes' into a ...

Jose Mourinho Does "Who? Me?" Better Than Anyone

During this evening's Copa del Rey final, won by Atletico Madrid in extra time at the Bernabeu (big win, that one), Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo were both sent off. The latter was unjustified, though Cristiano probably could've been sent off for kicking Juanfran off the ball earlier, and there's ...

Heineken Offers Up An Impossible Task

This might be better than the Champions League final itself. Heineken decided to run a gag where if a guy could get his girl to go along with buying stadium seats for $1899, he would win tickets to the final in London. One man actually rose above the odds - ...

Europa League Final 2013: Freestlying Amsterdam

The people who whip up these fancy second-tier finals (UEFA. They're called UEFA.) concocted a nice little PR thingamajig by pairing one fan from Benfica and one fan from Chelsea with a top notch freestyler in a race through Amsterdam to the Arena. They would hope to determine a winner ...

The Portland Timbers Are Winning Football

Just days after the club granted a young boy with cancer his Make-A-Wish wish a friendly against the senior side, the fans of the Portland came up with a choreograph. Only it's not your typical collective - this one was for gay tolerance, fresh on the heels of the spate ...

Radu Mitu Fights The Wind. The Wind I Tell You.

The Moldovan first division. An eighteen year-old kid named Radu Mitu making his professional debut. This happens. It's like watching a three-legged dog fall to the back of the pack as it tries to run a race. The wind took it. Just...the wind took it. Hopefully Radu has a great sense of ...

Zlatan & Leonardo, Sittin' In A Tree

Leonardo, the PSG director not the Ninja Turtle, isn't exactly having a fine few weeks. After Thiago Silva was sent off for lightly placing his hands on the referee last week, Leonardo decided it would be a smart idea to bump the referee in the tunnel. This may result in ...
