Not sure about that handball, doesn't that qualify as his supporting arm? Absolutely in a natural position imo. Didn't look like he was fully convinced giving it either, but can see the argument either way

Really liking Faghani today, wonderful ref if this is his standard

Probably a good enough performance to get a knock-out game, but have been more convinced by Makkelie in other games. No major decisions wrong and tried to let the game flow. Both sets of supporters upset on reddit that they've been screwed by him, so he probably did alright ;)

Idfk the easy call there, or a foul to Gnabry if you're giving that. Don't think the ball ever went out

Looked like advantage signal on that inadvertent handball, not sure what he was trying to achieve there

Thing I'm curious about though: Makkelie always uses his wallet, but doesn't today. Has FIFA instructed the referees not to use a wallet? Edit: I'm wrong, just didn't see the wallet in previous bookings

Assistant will be dreading that decision, looked like an easy call

Was just wondering when Makkelie would be getting his first game, and he's really well-known by most of these players. Should be an entertaining one. FIFA seems to really like him

Belgium have been remarkably unimpressive, very lucky to have three points out of these two games

Assistant not running up the line for the goal there, does he suspect an offside (probably couldn't see who touched the ball) ? Interesting for VAR this one, think they got it right.

Enough doubt about distance and number of defenders here for me to be okay with yellow

Turpin pretty much flawless, great presence on the field (or should I say not as present as others have been so far). Might be my stylistic preference, but he really didn't seem to get anything wrong. Hopefully for him, he doesn't become Kuipers 2.0 due to the success of his own country.

Well, interesting one here,and one I'm not sure about. Can you give advantage for a double touch after a restart? Referee is not in frame, so I don't know what he's signaling. https://v.redd.it/ckccu84zrd0a1

Copy / paste from a thread I made, because I didn't see this one yet, especially interested in what's happening after the Atleti penalty. Barca - Bayern: Taylor called to the screen for a mistakenly given PK. Agree with VAR, Lewa initiates the contact and even so, De Ligt plays the ball. Not...

Aight, close shop on this one then.

Probably best to do a general thread for what's been quite a busy day for referees. Spurs - Sporting: clear handball correctly disallowed, and a very late VAR offside call that's probably correct, leading to Conte going for a premature trip to the dressing room. Decent game by Makkelie. Barca...

https://streamja.com/B3g9g Absolutely wonderful. Think the VAR decision is technically correct even though no one would blink an eye if just Gomez got a red and the VAR handt got involved. Referee excellently used the wait and see. Whistle is clearly after the push

Do you guys in Britain really observe the two weeks' mourning by not playing games?

That's probably not a red for me, glancing contact and doesn't really have much force in it. But it's the foul I was referencing, yeah

Good advantage for the goal though, game's good so far
