Cold!!!!

Firs of all, Happy Father's Day to all the fathers back home and around the world. In particular those that I know personally, I hope you have a great day and enjoy every minute with the family and the games of course! Let me get your first question out of the way! As of today, June 20th, we have not been informed of our next game. We are exercising "patience" and keeping busy with the daily activities. Most referees will likely receive two appointments in the group stage of the competition so we are hopeful that we may get one more game in this stage. If not we will deal with it as we are prepared for anything.

Yes, it is cold in South Africa. The above picture shows the frost in the early morning hours as we depart for training. It is cold in the mornings and evenings. At times there is a strong wind that makes even colder. Most referees are not used to this type of cold during tournaments so it is an adjustment for everyone.
