Appointments for this round may be a bit more challenging given
some of the countries who are playing aren't known yet. For
example, they are due to announce the referee for Germany vs one
of the third place teams today - it could be Sweden or Paraguay
(or a very small chance it could be Scotland!).
If they keep confederation neutrality that rules out European or
South American referees - and there aren't many candidates among
the rest as they've either had poor performances (Ramos, Atcho)
or for those who have refereed well they've currently got games
just a day or two before so would have too short a turnaround
(Faghani, Tantashev, Fischer).
My guess is they will go for Ivan Barton but that doesn't give
him loads of time to recover seeing as he refereed yesterday.
One of the many reasons why the 48 team tournament doesn't
really work for me!

Or 48 teams with 16 groups of 3 as originally put forward
That requires the two best teams in a group to meet in the first
fixture to keep more games live

Fantastic appointment for Sampaio. That should be a brilliant
game.
Mariani with a good game too.
