"Anders, it's okay."

After Jack finished his first World Cup knockout game uneventfully, he immediately continued to work as a guest commentator. Anyway, the remuneration for commenting a game is very high, and with the remuneration during the World Cup, it is estimated that there will be nearly 100,000 US dollars. Such a good thing, of course, Jack will not waste.

Villar's idea was to put the top referee in charge of the rest of the game. This can change everyone's decision on the referee, and Jack is off to a good start in the knockout round.

The match between Germany and Paraguay was not controversial without any controversy. At the end of the race, the comments were all about the ugly race, the rise of German tanks, and so on. None of them said there was anything wrong with the referee's decision.

But Jack got off to a good start, but he didn't expect the knockout round to be as controversial as the group stage.

And the first controversy to arise turned out to be the famous Friske, who can be equal to Corina in European football. The match that Friske enforces is a match between Spain and Ireland.

Frisker's performance as a whole was okay. Whether it's controlling the pace of the game, the flow of the game, and even many other penalties are excellent. In this regard, Frisker was already very strong.

However, Friske received a lot of criticism after the game. Because Friske gave Ireland two penalties in the game, there was a lot of controversy. The first penalty was a duff fake, which everyone can see if you watch the replay.

Duff's fake fall is an unmistakable thing. The fake fall helped Ireland get a penalty. Luckily, Casillas saved the ball.

The second penalty came in the final minute of the regular season, when stoppage time was about to go. In the free-kick defence, Hierro's hands moved. Pulling the opponent's jersey and being sentenced to death by Friske.

But Spanish coach Camacho was not satisfied.

In his opinion, Hierro's move was a very normal defensive move. Not up to penalty criteria. There was a lot of pulling at this level in the game, and it shouldn't have been a penalty. Especially in the last moments, it shouldn't have been a penalty.

There are no losers in this game. Although Spain is very difficult, and it has also paid the price of players going off injured, especially Raul, Spain's most threatening at the moment, is injured, and the situation is not very optimistic.

But in any case, it also defeated Ireland and got a ticket to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. The important thing is that Spain won on penalties and reaped the new goalkeeper Casillas.

And Ireland needless to say.

Although it was a failure, it was praised by the whole world. Everyone is praising Ireland's hard work and its indomitable spirit. Ireland has been respected by everyone for being able to come here.

If it is said to fail. There is only one person, and that is Frisker.

As one of the top referees in world football at the moment, Friesk was confused by Duff's fake fall in this game, as well as the last-minute penalty, which was questioned by many people.

Of course, it was fortunate that Spain won and did not chase after Friesque. If Spain loses this game, then Spain will definitely not forgive. At that time, the reputation of Frisker I will be ruined.

At that time, Frisker may be hailed as a stint, and many years later he will be pointed out and scolded.

"Nothing. We referees are human beings after all. It can't be perfect. ”

Frisk didn't seem to be too affected, smiling and talking to Jack. Frisk was indeed not affected too much, the referee is human, where there is no mistake. And Frisk went through strong winds and waves. There have been times like this. So he was able to control his emotions.

In the match between England and Argentina, Corina was deceived by Owen's fake fall. The referee committee will also understand such mistakes. The referee of the current world football. Who dares to say that he can be sharp-eyed and will not be confused by fake falls.

"That's good. I'm afraid you'll be affected. ”

Jack is among the top referees in European football. There are no friends. Jack was also reluctant to go over and pat Corina and Merck on the back. But as Jack made his mark on the world football scene, he also needed to talk to these top referees. Jack had a good impression of Friske anyway. The two of them are not hypocritical, so Jack usually likes to chat with him.

Jack didn't want Friske to be unaffected by this game.

"The impact is still there."

Frisk shook his head with a smile and said, "I estimate that this World Cup, my journey is coming to an end." ”

"What's the matter, the next game won't let you enforce the law?"

Jack was shocked. Friske is the top referee in world football, and before the World Cup, Friske was ranked second among the five referees who could officiate the World Cup final. Even if you don't officiate the World Cup final, you need a top referee like Friske in the semi-finals.

Could it be that Frisker left the World Cup like this.

"Probably yes. Anyway, I made a mistake, Angel has already called me. ”

Jack sighed.

What about the top judges? Enforce a hundred good games, but if one game goes wrong, then everyone will criticize it. Like Frieske, he has officiated so many great games.

But now there was a mistake, and Villar sent Friske home.

Is.

The referee is actually the same as the defender in the team. No matter how good you usually behave, as long as you make a mistake, you will be bombarded by a group of people.

"Nothing. Unlike a cup like this, there aren't many games in the league. If you make a mistake, you should go home, as it is. ”

Friske was very carefree and didn't seem to mind at all. Jack nodded, understanding Friske. Friske doesn't look like a big name now, but in fact he is only thirty-nine years old now, and he still has six years of international refereeing career. He was only 37 years old when he officiated at the European Championship final two years ago.

Come to think of it, there are still six years.

Take the level of Frisk. It was also able to officiate three World Series. Two European Championships, one World Cup. So there's really no need to be in a hurry. This time to leave. There are still many opportunities.

"Jack, you're good. Although the match between Germany and Paraguay was uneventful. But there was nothing controversial about it. Maybe you still have a chance. ”

"Me? I don't count on it. I am very satisfied with the opportunity I have now. ”

"Huh."

…………

Jack had just comforted Friske, but he didn't expect a huge controversy to arise again in the knockout round of the World Cup the next day.

Match in Brazil.

For the match between Brazil and Belgium, the referee on duty was Plendagas from Jamaica. Although Plendagas is a referee from Jamaica, he is still quite famous. In this World Cup, the performance is still very good. In the midst of controversy, the group stage match he officiated was very calm and uncontroversial.

It's a pity that there was controversy in this game. Brazil played poorly after the start of the game, being held down in the first half by Belgium. The fight left Brazil breathless.

Thirty-five minutes into the first half, Belgium's number seven Vilmoc scored a goal. However, Plendagas disallowed the goal on the grounds that Vilmots had committed a foul before the goal.

The Belgian players were very dissatisfied.

However, Plendagas was adamant about his decision, which made the Belgian national team very unhappy. In the second half, Brazil scored two goals in a row and finally won 2-0 against Belgium.

Immediately after the game, the Belgian national team complained about Plendagas. The media also slammed Plendagas, arguing that his decision led to Brazil's advancement. In the eyes of many media, if it wasn't for the referee's decision that Belgium's goal was invalid, then according to the situation at the time, Belgium might be the one who advanced in the end.

It's a big deal.

The knockout stage is much more focused than the group stage. Mistakes by the referees in the knockout round. It is under the magnifying glass of the media. And Plendagas's misjudgment was no small matter, blowing out the goal.

In the end, even Plendagas could only apologize to Belgium. He said that it was indeed his own misjudgment and hoped that Belgium would forgive him. But the game was over, and the referee's apology was useless.

Because the game is over. There was nothing anyone could do to change the score.

One misjudgment after another has put a lot of pressure on the FIFA referee committee, because there are so many controversies in the knockout rounds. The knockout stage is more watched than the group stage. The group stage was a bit of a miscalculation. But the team still has a chance.

But the knockout round is a winner-or-loser.

In such a situation, there is such a big controversy. How will everyone be satisfied.

However, this anger caused an uproar on the final day of the one-eighth elimination round.

The last match between South Korea and Italy is over. Stunned the entire world of football. The referee of this match, Moreno from Ecuador, told everyone how good the referee is on the field.

Goal? When I say in, I enter, and when I say invalid, I invalidate.

Foul? I say a foul is a foul, and if I say it's not a foul, it's not a foul.

Yellow? Red? I will give if I love it, and I will not give if I don't love it.

Anyway, Moreno made everyone understand how authoritative the referee is on the field. On the pitch I say whatever I say, you all have to obey me.

There are too many controversies, too many to count.

After the match, Moreno became the target of all the media. Everyone didn't understand Moreno's judging criteria, and what criteria Moreno used to officiate the game.

But to make everyone angry, Moreno was not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he said that he did not make any mistakes in the game, and the penalty was very accurate.

This caused Blatter to be annoyed.

Why?

The Italians were already angry at this World Cup. In the group stage, Italy was the victim of all kinds of miscalculations. But fortunately, Italy's strength is good, and it is not easy to break through from the group stage.

But I didn't expect to meet the host of South Korea in the eighth-knockout round, and then I was beaten hard.

Finally, the depressed Italians were furious.

They are not only targeting Moreno, but also targeting the South Korean national team, and directly pointing the finger at Blatter. Even many European teams feel the same way, and UEFA is pointing directly at Blatter.

Blatter is also difficult.

Moreno went too far, it was nothing short of blatant. It can be said that South Korea was able to win this game, and Moreno's contribution was 60 or 70 percent. Such a naked game made Blatter lose the ability to justify.

What can Blatter do?

He couldn't do anything. And he also has to defend Moreno, saying that he has not made mistakes. But secretly he also did something, that is, to let Moreno go home, and then disqualified him from international refereeing in the future. He was not allowed to continue officiating international competitions. On the surface, however, he does not blame Moreno.

That's all.

But the matter has come out, and the whole world media is in an uproar.

What a World Cup match this is. In the one-eighth elimination round, there are only eight games, but there are so many controversies. Friske's two penalties for Ireland, Plendagas' cancellation of Belgium's goal, and Moreno's clown-like performance have all made this World Cup more and more chaotic.

No one expected that there would be so many problems in this World Cup. The media are all inexplicable, is this the World Cup?

In the end, it was the English media who came to a conclusion about this World Cup. The Sun concluded that it was a chaotic and controversial World Cup. (To be continued......)
