I love Bibi and what she brought to the Bundesliga. Always hoped that she would ref a UCL or Mens World Cup final. She was clear, direct, and fair. The game was never about her. Happy to see her influencing the next generation of refs.
I, too, had a smile on through the whole read. I have always admired each of them, and it's so fitting that they are together (and still working in the same field). Great story!

Really interesting to me that's she's not much of a soccer fan but just a huge refereeing fan.
This story put a smile on my face. So nice to learn more about these people and to be able to support you in this newsletter project.
Appreciate that!

Seeing how they interact and play off each other was the highlight of spending time with them for me. Thanks for reading!
What a nice story. I knew about Howard Webb but not Bibi. Now I do, thanks Grant.
They're both pretty incredible. Really enjoyed interviewing them.
My first read as a subscriber to your SubStack. I am so glad I joined and look forward to more great content!! Thanks Grant!
Loved this story. Would love to know what Howard thinks of the ref in this US-Jamaica game. Can we put him in charge of CONCACAF referees too?
