Why are the 2020 Euros refereed differently than club matches? | Extra Time | ESPN FC
In #FCExtratime, Craig Burley, Don Hutchison and Steve Nicol join ESPN FC's Dan Thomas to discuss some of the biggest questions fans have regarding the 2020 Euros.
0:00 Is the European Championship “coming home” to Belgium?
1:41 Why are the referees refereeing club matches and international matches differently?
4:01 Should England play for a draw to avoid France, Portugal and Germany? Do managers ever plan to play for a draw if that gives their team an easier round next game?
4:51 Take us through the pattern of preparation that players and staff go through before a game, especially when the margins are so tight as it is for Scotland and Croatia.
7:58 Stevie, once a match starts, how much can a manager do to impact play? Is it just down to the players to execute at that point? Managers always get blamed for tactics, but is it sometimes correct tactics and the players not getting the job done?
9:51 Does anyone have any famous football contacts on their phone?
10:31 Have Craig and Stevie introduced Don to golf course Bear yet?
