Abstract

In this chapter, we investigated the prevalence and differences in decisions error across European soccer leagues. A set of event-related variables, namely foul not detected, offsides not detected, yellow cards not shown, red cards not shown, and goals disallowed, are shown to be essential in differentiating the referees in their ability to deliver the appropriate decisions across the leagues during match play. It has been shown that the English Premier League referees committed more errors as compared to referees in the Bundesliga, Laliga, Serie A, and Ligue1. Interestingly, the referees from the French Ligue1 display the lowest decision error relative to the variables examined.
