What they said

Chairman of a FIFA Referees’ Committee Pierluigi Collina
I wish to generally appreciate a players and coaches in terms of their behaviour… We are gratified about this. The normal of 3.4 yellow cards per compare is positively in line with other vital competitions. The series of red cards is really lower… something that proves a honour of a players for their opponents so distant has been really good. We told a referees to be really accurate in safeguarding a picture of a diversion and a reserve of a players – all a referees accepted a instructions.

During a competition, it’s not probable that all goes 100 per cent perfectly. Some things have to be fine-tuned formed on what is occurring in a initial matches. 95 per cent of a decisions taken by a referees but a VAR were correct, and this commission increasing to 99.3 per cent interjection to a involvement of a VAR. Something that’s always been pronounced – VAR does not meant perfection. But as we can see 99.3 per cent is something that is very, really close.

Director of FIFA Refereeing Massimo Busacca
At this stage, we haven’t motionless nonetheless who is going to remain, who is going to go. It’s not time to consider about that. It’s time to applaud after a 48 games. Later, we will confirm about officials for a rest of a competition. We will make an evaluation… We will be really honest like how a manager is looking during players. In general, we are really happy about a performances. Today, we consider VAR has helped a lot.

FIFA VAR Refereeing Project Leader Roberto Rosetti
At a centre of a decision-making process, there is a referee. The VAR doesn’t decide. The VAR only recommends an on-field review. Only a arbitrate has to take a final decision. This is a disproportion between interpretation, biased decisions and significant decisions. For all interpretations, we wish a arbitrate during a centre of a decision-making.
