World Cup 2010 Blog: Martin Hansson Stars In Rättskiparen (The Referee) |  |
| Martin Hansson Stars In Rättskiparen (The Referee) Posted: 20 Jul 2010 09:07 AM PDT
In some strange turn of fate, Swedish channel SVT1 decided in early 2009 that it would behoove their nation to get a glimpse into Martin Hansson’s run up to the World Cup just finished. One year under the camera’s glare for a look into the life of Sweden’s best referee. You’ll know, of course, of the sharp turn the focus took in the late fall, when Thierry Henry handled the ball which became the goal which sent France to South Africa at the expense of Ireland. What was a simple documentary became a year in the life of the man who oversaw one of the biggest botched calls in recent footballing history. This isn’t the first documentary about a ref, nor will it be the last, but it’s certainly very excellent – with some very curious foreshadowing – and very much worth the half-hour you had earmarked for circumventing your employer’s firewall.
