(perhaps by luck) would get the final. Zwayer is an option,
however it seems he is being punished for his poor season with
Siebert having temporary seniority. However, outside of Zwayer,
I really cannot think of another candidate. UEFA will want to
avoid a PSG-Arsenal final as it will make things very complex
for choosing the final candidate.

I am not exactly as clued up on European officials as others on
here may be but would a Spanish referee be in contention, have
any been particularly good this season? Could the likes of
Scharer (SUI), Eskas (NOR), Pinheiro (POR), Nyberg (SWE), Peljto
(BIH), or even an Italian referee be in contention?

Spain are really struggling for a Lahoz replacement and will be
lucky to even have a referee at the World Cup. Scharer and
Peljto likely won’t be going either. Pinheiro is a new elite.
The other two or a German would be the only candidates (unless
UEFA decide PSG need to stop moaning about an incident from 4
years ago and send Makkelie)
[/quote]
They’ve gone with Hernandez Hernandez which is a big surprise
for me…
Gil Manzano has been appalling in recent games, and Sanchez
Martinez hasn’t been setting the place on fire either…
There is an argument that no Spanish ref should be there…. with
Scharer very unlucky not to go.
[/quote]
Hasn’t Scharer been selected as a reserve? I could be wrong.
Politics has played a part I think. There’s no way Hernandez
would have gone if he wasn’t Spanish (although I do think he is
the best of a very bad bunch)
[/quote]
Yeah Scharer has gone as reserve. Peljto and Sanchez were the
two who went to the seminar and missed out completely.

Bit too early for pejlto but surprised with Spain. Didn’t Italy
not have a rep at one World Cup? Better to have none than 1
rubbish one
Never rated scharer so glad he’s not been picked

Wasn't too many years ago when there was no English referee at a
major tournament (wc I think)
Would not have done the Spanish harm not to have noonr and work
harder towards next 2 tournaments

Yes, it was the 2018 World Cup - from memory I believe Mark
Clattenburg would have been the sole English representative, had
he not left for China in 2017.

Correct. Clattenburg was going, but then couldn’t go due to his
move into the new role he took. It was then too late for anyone
else to take his place
