World Cup
Is there an official language the World Cup refs use to communicate with players from different countries?
I don't know much about the refs in the world cup, but one would think that they have to ref several games dealing with several languages. Is there a common language that everybody understands, or do they rely on non-verbal cues?
They have to speak English, even between each other so everybody can understand. They can give some explanations for instance if the referee speaks the language of a team but that's all.
