@niallmcveigh Hai McVeigh-MBM, i have here the refereeing crew for the CRO-ESP clash:
Referee: Cüneyt Çakır (TUR)
AR1: Bahattin Duran (TUR)
AR2: Tarik Ongun (TUR)
Fourth Official: Andreas Ekberg (SWE)
Cant wait for this to kick-off!
Cuneyt Cakir has previously drawn the ire of Sir Alex Ferguson, Mario Balotelli and Republic of Ireland fans, but Croatia supporters might see him as a good luck charm – he refereed their World Cup semi-final against England three years ago.
The ITV punditry crew have been discussing Álvaro Morata’s struggles, with Ian Wright curiously suggesting a move away from a big club to “a Sociedad or a Villarreal” might help.
In his pre-game presser, Luis Enrique weighed in on the abuse Morata and his family have received which, of course, is ridiculous, baffling and appalling. “This is a serious crime,” the Spain coach said.
