I shall say this whilst Hungary are 1-0 up... I hope we never see this guy on a Hungary game again. He's not having a good game, foul detection is random at best. Completely missed a dreadful tackle on Kleinheisler, seeing how his ankle bent on the replay, he's lucky to still be walking. Not a clue what is an isn't a foul today. He played an advantage for Azerbaijan after a Hungary foul - Hungary were in possession as a direct result of the foul and then booked an Azerbaijan player for retaliating - fair enough to a degree but if he had given the foul by Hungary as he should have it would never have happened. The way he spoke to Szoboszlai was appalling and unprofessional, he was literally shouting in his face, Szoboszlai just stood there looking stunned! Not even sure as to why he was in his face anyway, game was stopped for treatment after a foul by a Hungarian player, not Szoboszlai who was stood about 30 feet away and he went over to him & starting shouting in his face - very random & extremely unprofessional.  He's wearing jewelry out on the pitch as well, again unprofessional.

Dreadful 1st half showing.
