Costa Rica Serbia

[santa sangria]

...and I am not gonna comment on anything that starts with a V!

Penalty appeal maybe for a big push by a Costa Rican early on.
Lots of holding at corners.
Ref is being proactive.

AR2 made it hard for the ref with a no decision for a simple throw
Ref has been the wrong side of the diagonal a few times but growing into the game I think.

Was that a delayed (VAR) offside flag on the 28th minute?

35th min it's going downhill. Clear foul missed in front of AR1, outrageous handball missed in front of AR1...

44th and a flag going up too early for offside with a shot on target. It looked onside on brief replay freeze frame.

Mitrovic looking for a penalty then, good no call.

Don’t think he looked for it he’s just been way off today in the box, hold up play as good as ever but tucking chances away he’s looked woeful.

Can please someone advise these refs that when something is under review from upstairs CLEARLY DO A TV SCREEN WITH YOUR HANDS..

The ref keeps puting his arm in the air which from a distance looks like he’s waiving play to start

You can slap a player (just don't look when you are doing it) and only get a yellow.

I've not seen much of the 'hand to one ear' signal they're meant to be doing...

They don't do the TV screen for a check. The "stop" signal with a hand is pretty universal.

Mitigating circumstances he was facing the other way, defender is all over the back of him & he’s trying to free himself.

Not his fault the defender is a dwarf & got a slap.

I imagine it's quite difficult to deliberately slap someone's face without looking and whilst running, going to be a yellow 99 times out of 100.

They need to do something because they are using standard ref signals like arm in the air it’s comfusing players, clear video screen action & a keeper or player from far away knows the score.
