As a fairly new referee (after 4 games), is it a good idea to already lead a 'futsal' game during the winter break? I was told it was just between friends, and I shouldn't worry too much about it. Do you have any specific tips on the transition from 'normal' football to futsal?

Temperatures in Belgium are slowly declining lately, almost below freezing point. Weather forecast for the weekend is not looking good. My question as a new ref -only used to relatively 'normal' temperatures-: how do you cope with cold weather, especially: do you have some kind of special way...

Had my first game today (u15) and enjoyed it very much. I did fail to blow for an obvious foul with 20 minutes to go however, which turned one team quite mad for the rest of the game (and they were right to be so..). However, the incident didn't have too much influence on the scoreline: 7-3. I...

Any thoughts on the England squad selection for Brazil?

A lot of Premier League fans over here I guess? I support all the teams with Belgian players of course, but with a slight preferance for Liverpool. Too bad for them, Gerrard actually let it slip.. What are your thoughts on the end of the season, and perhaps on next season?
