Manuel Jorge de Sousa matches
(A click on 'All matches' will show all international matches for this ref that we at WorldReferee know about - including those we didn't report on.)
UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE 2009-2010 group stage:
Steaua - Twente, 1 - 1. Steaua, Bucharest, Romania, 2009-12-17

This looks like a good ref, he is in control, but a few calls were completely wrong. Since the match wasn't very important after all (it depended a bit on the other match in the group), Sousa's mistakes didn't matter.

weird
There were maybe a hundred Steaua fans and 4 times as many for Twente. And this was in Bucharest, in a large concrete bowl. Maybe the match shouldn't have been played, if the home audience isn't interested, why bother?

snow
Apparently they used convicts to shovel the snow, they could have used those convicts as audience.
And why the orange ball when there is no snow on the field? It was difficult to see.
And, man! to be the 5th (or 6th) assistant with minus 10! You don't even get to run along the touch line like numbers two and three. You just stand there, hopping to stay warm, wishing play would get your way and someone fouls or handles the ball.

match
some players played in their summer kit, but all players clearly had had enough of the cold and the match in the second half.
