I don't get why they just use the best european referees.. not these african, asian referees..

I would say racist but I agree. European refs are the best.

Well they should be seeing they are the best paid. However the whole point is to bring other countries referees up to a high standard.

Back in the day European referees were accused by the S.Americans as biased to European teams.. Even racist.

An Asian referee for a S.American v European in theory is ideal.

Yeah I know its ideal for this game which is why I'm not complaining but it doesn't change the fact that European refs are the best

apart from when they give 3 yellows to the same player

He wasn't European, he was English :)
