Lucky 13

Exactly seven days ago, the world football organization announced who will monitor the video assistant referee system for the World Cup next month. If this number were deliberately chosen or not we will never find out, but 13 men are going to close up in the room and never come out on the pitch. In short: these (un)lucky 13 are going to be like those spectators who do not have the opportunity to travel in Russia and watch live games as the whole time will see them on television. However, they are going to have one big and special task: to watch closely and look for any controversial moments. These helping referees are chosen on previous experience with the system, they are designated only for this job, and 4 different colleagues will work on video analysis for every 64 matches. No names are going to be written here (you can read them on FIFA website), but instead we will mention continents: 9 of them are from Europe, South America has 3 while 1 come from Asia.
