PLAY THE ADVANTAGE

NOTE: This refers to an appointment in the past. See the sidebar for updated appointments.

It’s a good weekend to be a female fan of the Serie A referees, because all the pretty boys come out to play. Daniele Doveri, Andrea De Marco, Marco Guida…they’re all here. Even Gianluca Rocchi and Daniele Orsato are hanging out on the wings.

Speaking of pretty boys, my perennial favorite (oh, and Italy’s top rated referee and World Cup referee) Nicola Rizzoli is on point for Udinese v. Juventus on Monday.

Maybe we’ll get to see him give someone a hug after he turns down their penalty kick appeal again this week.

(Rizzoli’s a hugger. See above.)
