Only a mess up in regard to having made what would be deemed by fifa to be an error.
But imo red was deserved, this was a Brazilian v Egyptian game, and expectations is different to the PL, so for me a pointless VAR review that should have stayed referees decision.

Tough game overall, 7 yellows, but Taylor did himself proud.

The only one person Imo who could have got this opening game got it, Faghani from Iran/Australia, it needed to go to someone experienced / older …. Who would showcase what fifa want, and would make the big decisions, this game on paper is tough, American vs Middle Eastern so with Faghani Middle Eastern roots he makes the perfect selection.
Marcinek is not pointless ?? It’s having a good 4th man with him, again older and more likely to get the respect that a younger official on the sidelines.

Bit worried for Nyberg if I’m honest.
