https://www.beinsports.com/en-mena/football/bundesliga/articles/german-football-adopts-euro-2024-referee-rule-2024-07-16 German football adopts Euro 2024 referee rule A rule that only a team captain can talk to referees, introduced at Euro 2024, will be applied to all levels of German football, the German FA (DFB) has announced. Under the rule, players who approach a referee to discuss a decision will be given yellow cards. The German FA said the rule would be adopted in both men's and women's football from the professional level through to local leagues. The rule, designed to promote more respect for referees and clearer interactions with match officials, was implemented in all UEFA club competitions early in July. Several yellow cards were handed out for non-captains approaching referees at Euro 2024. A total of 161 yellows were handed out in the group stages alone. At Euro 2020, the total for the entire tournament was 151. Ansgar Schwenken, the Director of Match Operations and Fans at the Bundesliga, said the rule was "the logical step for more fairness and respect."

Good thing he still has that police job in Dortmund to fall back on.

I don't think they will be short of applicants. That's an exciting job to have.

What has Lewis got to do with it?

We just beat Galatasaray 5-2 in a friendly. And they started training on the same day as us apparently, so we should be on the same fitness level. And we switched the complete team in the 2nd half. This all looked very promising.

lol he even tagged him.

Nico Williams for me. What a joy to watch.

Spain 3-1 England, 20.00

Alcaraz taking Djokovic to the cleaners. You love to see it.

How am I supposed to build a team when they still got Köln and Darmstadt in there?

Yea, why would you show some respect to the host nation? Unbelievable.

If only there was more gun control.

I've seen a close up of his ear, and it looks like someone just smeared some fake blood on it.

Just finished "A Gentleman in Moscow". Wonderful series if you don't mind a bit of a slow burner.

What?

I always washed them with warm water, until I've heard that it's actually not the best thing to do for your skin. And cold water is just as good as getting rid of germs etc. It's more about the right technique and the right amound of soap.

@carefreeluke

I liked the latest episode as well.

Yea, not a great performance. Controlled possession but didn't create any clear chances. And very sloppy in defence. All of Iceland's goals were a result of an individual mistake by one of our players. Still top of the group and two points ahead of Iceland. So maybe the only positive is that we can work on those mistakes and become better of it as a result.
