Again, as the Chairman of the @ussoccer_ref Committee, I cannot state how proud I am of our @ussoccer Referees on their 2nd appointments to the @FIFAWorldCup . They did great on their 1st matches and I'm sure they will ace their 2nd match. Good luck!

@hakanceylantv Ayrıca, VAR durdurmasını istediği için durdurmuştur, ne dersiniz, hakem mi sorumlu okur bu durumda VAR mı? Bu arada FIFA’nın Danny’den kolayca vazgeçmesi sürpriz olurdu bence. Tıpkı Simon’dan kolayca vazgeçemeyecekleri gibi.

@hakanceylantv Hocam daha iyi bilirsiniz ama sanırım önceden kimlik karıştırma konusunda oyunun herhangi bir anında üzerinden zaman geçmiş olsa bile bi düzeltme yapılabiliyordu. Bu maçtaki uygulama, zaten farklı bir kimlik karıştırma örneği olarak karşımıza çıktı, benim çok aklıma yatmadı.

@SerdarAkcer 1000. Maç için de farklı forma ürettiler sanıyorum.

A special Adidas referee kit has been created for American official Tori Penso, featuring the brand's iconic three stripes customized in the United States national colors. Spotted at the 2026 World Cup game between Czechia and South Africa, the unique jersey adds a personalized, patriotic touch to the standard match official uniform.

However, because there has been no official announcement from Adidas regarding this custom design, it is not clear if other referees will also wear similar kits during the tournament.

83 - Chris Richards completed all 83 passes he attempted for the #USMNT against Paraguay, the most passes with a 100 percent accuracy rate by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966.

Perfection.

@il_fenomeno_ @CemTYuksekdag Bir Club America vs Chivas maçında bulunmuştum. Sözde hazırlık maçıydı, ancak bizim FB-GS maçlarından daha az zevkli ve daha az heyecanlıydı diyemem. Türk hakemlerinin ise avantaj uygulamaktan bilinçli olarak imtina ettiklerini düşünüyorum.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

World Cup fixtures could face lengthy delays if they are interrupted by severe weather conditions as FIFA does not have a cut-off point in its regulations for calling a match off.

According to U.S. thunderstorm protocol, a fixture taking place at a stadium must be immediately suspended if lightning or electrical discharge is detected within an eight-mile radius of the venue.

The players are led off the pitch and must take shelter in their dressing room, while fans are evacuated to safe areas inside the venue.

Once a lightning strike has been detected within eight miles, then a 30-minute countdown clock begins.

And if this time passes without any further strikes, then the match can resume. However, if there is another lightning strike during that 30-minute window, then the clock is reset to zero, and it will continue to be reset until 30 minutes pass without a detected strike.

Although FIFA is not responsible for U.S. thunderstorm protocol, nor can they override it, this could lead to World Cup fixtures being delayed for hours.

@CemTYuksekdag Çok doğru. Diğer bir soru da takımın öncelikli ihtiyacı 6 numara mı? Dediğin gibi, teknik direktörsüz bu tarz bir 6 numara tercihi biraz popülist karar olacak sanki.

[Referee @RefereeHakem]

@CemTYuksekdag Ben, Spaletti’nin bu cümlesini kaçırmışım. Bu maç özelinde inanılmaz tespit.
