The Ref Stop

England v Ghana

The BBC have wonderful feature on their website called 3D experience, and it's really interesting immersive view of all the games (sometimes live as the game is actually being played out!)

I must say, the referee's positioning for the Konsa penalty shout was... curious. Below is a screenshot of the exact moment Konsa lunges in.

At least 20 yards off from being anywhere I would expect him to be. It’s almost like he has been caught out by something, or lost his focus/concentration. Certainly doesn’t look like he has anticipated play.

it was a quick break iirc, looks like he's breaking right to try and get an angle.
What does the 54 metre indicate?
Was that where the pass came from, or change in possession possibly?

Even more of a case for VAR to get involved.
 
Ghana won the ball in an appealed challenge so my guess is the referee spent too long waving that away and coupled with a quick counter attack was totally lost positionally.

Hard to make much of this England game. Easy trap to fall into... not winning when seemingly not required to do so
The refereeing team was amateurish. Safe (swerving decisions) refereeing
I never envisaged this fella rocking up as a FIFA ref. I thought he was better in Home Alone personally

I was out jogging for much of the Ghana first half

So were most of the England players.
