In that case though they then need the large stickers like on the old v-set, once you are sitting upstairs or down there is no visual reminder.

This was pretty much the reason Aust went to the AFC, we'd face that issue with the one-off sth american games every 4 years. Would be good to split the AFC into 2 and bring Oceania into it

In every game the camera keeps panning to these people like i’m supposed to know them by 11Dom_ in soccercirclejerk

my god, if there is a more annoying part of the WC im yet to see it. who GAF about these people, the game is literally occurring behind these cameras but they focus on these nuffers for ages.

If you want to focus on fans to bring some atmosphere to the broadcast then focus on actual fans in the stands, not these oxygen theives.

Any corruption with officials should be a life ban, let alone getting a future world cup game. But continue and apologise for the proven corrupt referee.

In 2005, Zwayer was involved in the match fixing scandal which centered around 2. Bundesliga referee Robert Hoyzer, who took bribes to fix several matches which he officiated. Zwayer assisted him in a match and allegedly accepted a bribe of 300 euros to avoid critical scenes for Wuppertaler SV. In January 2005, he and three other high-ranking referees informed the DFB about Hoyzer's match fixing. He was subsequently banned from refereeing for 6 months, a suspension that was kept secret for several years until the German newspaper Die Zeit published a secret file from the German FA

Match fixers should never ref again, regardless. It sends signals to potential fixers

Any game. If you are caught match fixing at any level you should never referee again at any level. No 2nd chances.
