Here is a thought that I've had many times during international and CL matches.
If the 2 teams on the pitch are from different speaking countries, and the referee is from another country, who's homeland language isnt one of the 2 teams languages, what do they do ??
Does FIFA try to arrange referees' who can speak the same languages as the 2 teams playing each another ????
One example was the Turkey vs. England game this weekend which Collina refereed. I hear that he can speak english, but Turkish too ???
