vote for her and her team, a critical evaluation of her performance is part of the job. as a shop, it's or to not. there's not a single scene from the game today where i say, wow, i'm a bit unsure. funny sister, still, it's important to look at the scenes again after the game to discuss them with the referee observer to analyze them. both may be a few running late. maybe the angle could have been different. we look at all that sounds done on some of these matters. early in the evening, the 3 of them set off for home, around 250 kilometers, a driving lie ahead of them. in the n, francisco verify his day will have been around 10 hours long. refereeing is a time consuming hobby. very far as other life her every day working life takes place here. that it's, it is disappear. include of the bill in a francisco between hello, husky dogs like she works here is a self employed therapist several days

she'll need to run while refereeing the game. then it's time to put that theoretical program into practice. a thorough warm up is part of preparing for the game. not only for the teams, but also for the referees that iran, i'm giving you some damage, some movement sequences. and of course, also some athletic training said that you target different muscles on. and so it's not just running back and forth, but it has various exercises that i did for sure. no problem. and this is roy mocker. the game is one sided voice berg. the many time german champions dominate freshly promot cologne. there are plenty of tackles and foul and the cologne penalty area as often a hub of activity boot fire has to pay attention. she likes to stay in direct contact with the place and talk to them. i'm excited.
