World Cup 2018: The best party money could buy (until 2022)!

That's not it at all. The player should enter into the relative middle of the oppositon's formation, not behind their defense. It's that simple. The referee has the discretion to hold the player off the field until an appropriate time as so the entering player does not gain an advantage. The referee did not exercise that discretion in this case. I really don't understand how you can argue that.

Because now you’re giving an advantage to the other team by holding that player off the field for nothing but an arbitrary reason. A player should be on the field playing not waiting for a perfect moment all because he got fouled.

The player entered with referees permission, he entered from the touchline, near midfield. I’m sorry, this is the World Cup, I would expect a team’s defense to be able to track a player waiting to come on standing at midfield.

Lovin' the Egypt fan in the pharaoh head who looks like Hugh Grant but whiter.

Well...that may lock up Russia advancing.

And that'll do it...bye Egypt

Fun that Blatter is there today with Putin.

That Egypt PK is what you’ll see going forward with VAR. If it’s close call it outside and let VAR correct you if needed, offside is similar.

overall, the refs seem to be doing a pretty good job overall in the tournament...probably easier to look at that objectively as an independent this time around...

I (and other referees) have seen things I don’t like but it’s likely things that go unnoticed by the masses but grind my gears a bit:

1 A bunch of fouls but no Persistent Infringement (PI). Most of the games have had big (15-20+ on one team) foul counts but no PI cautions and star players are suffering for it. If a player is being targeted it should be taken care of but it really hasn’t.

2. Holding in the Penalty Area on set pieces. Referees haven’t been calling it, VAR won’t correct it, and the players will keep doing it.

hard to argue with either point, but I haven't been watching closely enough to be upset about either. Since I'm basically watching at work, its hard to pay that much attention to the less "important" games. I wonder with the card accumulation there is some apprehension to issue cards in game 1 for PI? interesting to see if it ramps up or doesn't change.

with 15-20 fouls on team, if its relatively even between the 10 guys out there, is there still supposed to be a PI yellow card given to someone?

Yes, 15-20 fouls on one team is a lot and is a sign that a team is targeting an opposing player or two.
