Away from specific decisions and VAR, what are your impressions of the officiating so far?
For me on the positive side, seems a consistency to the decision making, both in a single match and across the toiurnament as a whole.
Specifics I am not so keen on
1) The lengthy 'chats' at corners by referees - far too long and not necsssary in most cases I have seen
2) Lack of adavantage played/signal - most seem to ignore fouls - or that's how it looks without the signal
3) Apparent lack of involvement from ARs. Well aware that they could/should be communicating but seen quite a few fouls right on front of AR, who doesn't signal until after ref has blown!
Hate the late offside flag - but that's down to VAR, so lets not go there!
Your thoughts on the general standard of refereeing so far?
Thanks
