The Ref Stop

ENG V SUI

Schar being lucky with persistent fouling following his earlier caution
Ian Darke on the US Fox broadcast said if Schar didn’t have a yellow already, he probably would have got one there.

Which I don’t like at all as a method of refereeing……

I don’t think it was a terrible performance from Orsato and his team, I just thought it was very untidy, which is strange.
Over management of throw ins, blew early for half time in extra time, the mess up with the substitution, the throw in that didn’t go off the pitch just a few examples.

I wouldn't necessarily call it 'terrible' but on the extreme side of 'safe' which I suppose is what UEFA want and lets the game down.
 
He was one of the favourites for the final or semi's, but not sure now.

Taylor and Oliver will be coming home with the England win.
 
Schar being lucky with persistent fouling following his earlier caution
Second time England have been caught up in a game with PI not being punished with a second yellow.

Seems to be the accepted approach in the professional game that PI cannot be punished with a second yellow through fear of ruining the game.

Unless I missed one, it was his third foul, the first of which he was cautioned for. Hardly persistent infringement, IMO.
