new york giants and new york jets shared the stadium that bgh used to be called The Meadowlands which is just across the river and is actually in New Jersey. Same stadium. Always weird that it was just across the border in New Jersey

I missed this but I would go with the Rose Bowl. Giants stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey hosts quite a few nowadays but the Rose Bowl has a massive capacity and back then California had a much larger soccer (football) base. I was in my 20's back the. and watched it. Dont recall without...

Been awake all night.... dang.... cant believe I put 3rd. Time to sleep

Having watched nearly all of the England matches. I differ on my perception of how the players performed from several. I do think getting to the semi-final no matter who you played is an accomplishment. 28 other teams wish they were so fortunate. More if you consider those who did not...

I agree. Comms can be a crutch. Referees should master eye contact and communication among the officiating crew without comms before adding them in. When refereeing high school games when the kids are playing for their schools we are required to inform the coach of the reason for a YC. We...

I avoid using names even when I know them. It can create an impression of familiarity/bias among the other team and their supporters especially in a contentious game. Losing teams often feel slighted by a referee or a specific decision. It just adds fuel to that fire in my opinion if they...

I think Mbappe will be the deciding factor. France is starting to gel as a team but his is critical to their success. GK play as well

No offense intended and yes I understand the UK/England. Bit of a trigger I see. Apologies.

Kane was clearly out of gas at about the 70th min. He also got hacked to pieces taking him out of game until he tired. Disappointing game. Although I'm a Yank, I was pulling for England. Probably not unbiased opinion but Croatia was allowed to rough up England neutralizing their attack...

England just need to adjust to the game that is being called (or not called). They stop playing and protest and have not adjusted to what is being allowed. I'd call it tighter but England must adjust. It is the reality

50/50 imho. Low head and high foot. Little bit more of a high foot but play on

Needed a card for the rugby tackle on sterling or Lovren afterward. How is Lovren not on a YC?

Good card to Walker but CR needs to tighten up. Tactic appears to be to hammer Kane. Walker got dumped. Going to see frustration fouls and cards if he continues to let those go

He went 14 seconds past the 6 originally added. It was obvious wasting. I would've pointed to my watch before giving the yellow to show I was going to add for it. Discourages others. I typically say it too so the aggrieved team hears it. "You know I'm just going to add this on the end...

Reflections..... I really thought Belgium would win. Mbappe.... he is very talented, very quick and wise/mature (decision making. Not the silly YC for dribbling away after the whistle). Great keeping by both keepers. Lukaku.... vanished in the game. Really hurt them. Good soccer to...

Not sure why he didnt call the foul when Hazard got tripped just outside the box. Looked pretty clear. Then when Hazard CRUSHED French player coming in late 30 seconds later. Could've been YC for that one. Very late and brutal hit

Hit or miss here in the states. Dont see coms until higher levels

Should probably add these also

position of team mates really are not a factor. It is the position of the attacker in relation to the ball and the 2LD at the time it is played by a team mate. I am glad that you asked the question as I have seen experienced referees who were not players get the call incorrect when the...

First off, it is not in the budget (nor will it ever be) to spend $1000 (US) on comm gear but I'd like to get feedback and recommendations. I have worked using other referees' electronic flags. They were great for communicating quietly. I have also worked using using other referees' two way...
