Stieler with a very big match and with an important observer. Probably Germany's new Elite referee. I do wonder if Aytekin or Zwayer will be demoted.

Big match for Hategan and a low one for Collum. Tbh I still consider him lucky to get such appointments.

Nice appointment for Monzul. I believe that we will see her in EL soon.

Indeed it will be interesting to see if they demote one of the German elites, tough on Aytekin being injured, Zwayer I must say I thought was a good prospect for the elite level, himself and Makkelie I think were promoted at the same time, look at the difference in where they are now!

I wonder about Collum, given his recent performances I am surprised that he got this game, I wonder will the influence of Dallas keep him his elite spot, surely he won't be selected for the Euros in any case? I also wonder if Robert Madden has any chance for promotion to elite? A year older than Collum I think but has had a CL game this season - unlike Collum.

Can I add to others sentiments, it is great to see Frappart and Monzul breaking through at this level in mens football.
