French concerned about appointment of judges by FIFA
The appointment of FIFA judges quarterfinal matches of the FIFA World Cup gave rise to a serious discussion. In particular, in France they expressed a lack of confidence in the head judge of the match with Uruguay Nestor Pitan. First, he is from Argentina and knows quite well the national team of his native country - Uruguay. Secondly, the French team in the 1/8 finals withdrew from the struggle his native country - Argentina, which could create unnecessary tension during the match. The appointment of the referee of the match Belgium vs. Brazil also surprised. He will be led by the representative of Serbia, Milorad Mazić, whose compatriots dropped out of the current championship since they were defeated by Brazilians According to the media, FIFA did not have the right to appoint the Brazilian Sandro Richey as judge of the Russia vs. Croatia match, as he represents the country participating in this round. The match England vs. Sweden will be held by the Dutchman Bjorn Kipers, who did not give cause for discontent among the fans of the two countries.
