Croatia lost their third match (written by croref)

Referees

Abdou controlled the match more or less during all 90 minutes, Croatian are used to protest on referees decisions, he must stop them. Few mistakes in foul detection, especially on the middle of the pitch, could and must be better, advantage rule good. Possible penalty situation in 68th minute, correctly not given. Five yellow cards given, all correct in my opinion, maybe one more for Croatian players because of their behave after decisions against them. Assistants were very good, no bigger mistakes, one throw in wrong I noticed. Not a fan of his style, but it is not important to copy someone, you must create your own syle.

Asian referees

Both Asian referees did well in their group stage matches, in my oppinion Kim Dong Jin show better performance than Abdou. Abdou maybe in Round of 16, but nothing more I think.
