Style

canceled

Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, most of the match El Arjoun was far away from the ball. He puts a lot of trust in his assistants, and rightly so: they made no mistakes, flagged a few times for off-side and even canceled a goal.
It wasn't a difficult match for El Arjoun, play was fair none of the players protested any of his decisions, not even the one (1 !) he was wrong about.

El Arjoun is very stylish, and his style works really well in matches like this one. He is never in the way, invisible almost (a real feat for someone as tall as he) but as with all the other (mostly excellent referees) in this tournament: lets' see them in a really difficult match. And let's see if the Style works there too.
