       symbols. As Ukraine and Greece, the other two teams in the

       Very excited for Balázs Berke, he's a very talented young ref.
       Gergő Vígh-Tarsonyi will blend in with the kids as he looks
       about 12! Gergő Vígh-Tarsonyi and Balázs Szalai are also
       great young ARs.  We have 6 youngsters at the moment, all of
       whom are capable of taking over the elite spot when Ring & Tóth
       retire. It's decent young refs we are lacking - Berke being the
       exception.  Bogár is looking pretty decent as well s far but
       time will tell.
