EA Sports, the sponsor of La Liga, gave scores to the main referees of the 8 round of 16 matches of the 2024 European Championship in Germany. English Premier League referee Michael Oliver received the lowest score. He made several wrong calls in the match between Germany and Denmark.
The scores are as follows, from low to high:
Michael Oliver (3.5 points) – In the match between Germany and Denmark, Oliver made several mistakes, even controversial calls, which led to tense relations between the two sides. The situation almost spiraled out of control. Fortunately, VAR corrected two key decisions, including the penalty kick.
Felix Zwayer (4.0 points) – In the match between Romania and the Netherlands, Zwayer had problems controlling the game. He whistled frequently and stopped a quick counterattack by Romania, which was based on the principle of advantage.
Umut Meler (5.0 points) – In the match between England and Slovakia, Meler handed out too many cards, causing the game to lack continuity.
Glenn Nyberg (5.0 points) – In the match between France and Belgium, Nyberg’s refereeing standards were inconsistent. He gave out two unnecessary yellow cards in the first minute of the game.
Szymon Marciniak (5.5 points) – In the match between Italy and Switzerland, the Polish referee’s standards were loose at the beginning and strict at the end, which almost led to the situation spinning out of control.
François Letexier (6.0 points) – In the match between Spain and Georgia, the referee’s standard was very loose and he rarely gave out cards. He ensured that the game proceeded smoothly.
Daniele Orsato (7.5 points) – In the match between Portugal and Slovenia, the Italian referee made almost all the correct decisions, only with some minor flaws.
Artur Soares Dias (7.5 points) – In the match between Austria and Turkey, Soares maintained the right balance throughout the game. All four yellow cards he gave out were correct.
