@jimlatchem @UEFA Make FIFA look good? In my opinion this decision by UEFA highlights even more what a mess they made...

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@blusewillis2 Lo auspico anche io, ma non succederà mai. Gli arbitri sono una categoria odiata in tutto il mondo, come pensi che la prenderebbe il mondo se il giocattolino si rompesse per colpa loro?

@Spread_Them @BucketsCook @brokehomieslim One single match, in a wonderful stadium. Not an entire world cup in 16 different venues.

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@yptl48748 @Its_Lunati @brokehomieslim Yes, but not in the same stadium, not even in the same city.

@tricflairwoo @Lxnnxrdxd @brokehomieslim In Budapest. The match between Kazakhstan and Hungary took place in Debrecen.

@doppiam79 @silupescu Collina e gli arbitri sono in una posizione scomodissima. Penso che avrebbero tutta l'intenzione di protestare, ma non possono fare nulla di concreto. Già gli arbitri sono universalmente odiati, immagina cosa succederebbe se scioperassero o qualcosa di simile...

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@ogekuri_41 @Picard175 @NicolaSbetti Certo, a questo punto togliamo anche i ritiri alla RD Congo, tanto sono africani subsahariani e non si lamenteranno. Che livello di discorsi...

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@Milan1899Djoko Idem. Mondiale molto particolare, ma che mi ha lasciato diversi bei ricordi!

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@Picard175 @NicolaSbetti Peccato.

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@Picard175 @NicolaSbetti Se hai meno di 35 anni, corso arbitri presso la sezione più vicina a casa tua. Poi, dopo una quindicina d'anni, se sei bravo potresti arrivarci anche tu.

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@Picard175 @NicolaSbetti Tutti gli arbitri in ritiro a Miami ad allenarsi e formarsi, e poi sto povero cristo abbandonato in Canada o in Mexico. Terribile

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@AtiteSnr @Hackerslord_24 @RedHatPentester That would be like forcing an unwanted athlete to do his whole preparation in Mexico, away from the top quality facilities available for all his mates/rivals who are all based in Miami, and expect him to guarantee the same officiating standards. A bit unfair, isn't it?

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@alista_mapa @dantechristo @UDemeribe @FIFAWorldCup You may find it astonishing, but the truth is that a lot of people do really think that a ref just goes to the stadium, officiates and then goes back home. No training, seminaries, formation involved.

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@taipeitimes @BBCSport That's for the US to decide. Very good. So it's acceptable that a country hosting the world cup does not give permission to certain teams to compete?

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@taipeitimes @BBCSport Very good. So if by chance one of these 19 countries qualified their national team, they wouldn't be granted access either?

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@stuartotwit @BBCSport All the referees have their base in Miami.

@CharlieBoyy00 @pavyg I might understand that in football, where you earn your wage even if you're injured. But if you are a tennis player, and you get money only when you play, ignoring an injury that could have serious consequences (long stops) and playing over it is almost suicidal.

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@pavyg Suddenly? You're joking, right? There were plenty of signals, and he went on playing for a couple of games even when his staff explicitly told him that stopping would be better.

[Stefano Simone @StefSimone99]

@CharlieBoyy00 @pavyg Have you seen the match before leaving a comment, at least? Berrettini was progressively collapsing. What good would carrying on playing do to him?
