I am one of those who constantly criticises Clattenburg but last night he was good.
In fact all the English refs/assistants have been good.
The football, though, is pretty mind-numbing.
It appears that a 1-0 is all teams play for.
Occasionally (England!!) they get caught but it seems to be the limit of their ambitions. There has only been 2 victories by more than 1 goal and both of those were last minute 2nd goals.
All pretty average so far. Let's hope England v Wales is a typical "English" match with goal mouth action and goals. |

A lot of the first round matches are cagey with sides trying to sneak a point on the board. Soon they realiste that they need to gamble on all 3 and the games pick up though with 3rd places being introduced I'm sure that some teams will feel they're not out of it until the end and would be happy with two nil nils and try and snatch a win.
Refs have got most right from what I've seen. No idea why they've changed kick off rules though. Was that there but in football that's broke? Really?

My only thing I would say and its not about him personally but at one point in that match he stopped the match when Chiellini wrestled Fellaini to the group in the box for a corner and Mark stopped play to give both a warning, but the big Belgian did little if anything wrong he tried to attack the ball and the defender had only one thought, stop him.
For me its a penalty all day long, no need for the warning, or at least speak to the captains at the start and say it won't be tolerated, its a foul and a penalty. If they run the risk then so be it. With goal line technology now in place and working without any hiccups there's these officials on the line and god knows what they're still doing there but surely they should now turn their attention to "off the ball" fouls like this.
Again its not Marks fault as such, just goes along with the rest because it takes a brave ref to give that when most are ignoring them.

You spoke too soon, guys! Clatts strikes again....in the Czech vs Croatia game. As soon as really CRUCIAL moments occur, you can bet your life, he will get it wrong! Just ask the Czechs....not that they deserve to be level at half-time.....Unusually, Mark seems to be positioning himself a long way away from the action; perhaps he is feeling the heat.

His spot of the determining penalty was excellent. He did just about everything well and dealt with the crowd disturbances calmly and effectively. There was one 50:50 penalty which could have been given but also not.
