What are your thoughts on the refs in the finals? Who do think will be the ref in the opening match and in the final?
With Italy not in the tournament, I'd guess that Daniele Orsato is a strong candidate to be the ref in the final. He has refereed a CL final and was selected as the best ref in 2020.
Don't really know the refs from non-European countries, but a couple of them should be expected to be selected until QFs at least. What's the latest stage a female ref will in charge, QFs again?
Here are some articles about tournament refs:
"World Cup officials, who won’t be given their first World Cup assignments until 72 hours before kickoff, are evaluated after each group-stage game, with those who score well moving on to work a match in the round of 16. "
When it comes to World Cup referees, FIFA is showing a red card to its old ways
Personally I would have liked to see France's Francois Le Texier at the tournement, but they probably couldn't take any more refs from France and he is young enough to take part in future tournaments.
