"I'm not sure how it was that it remained so male-dominated for so long, because it's an area of the game where physically, certainly, there's no benefit of being a man, as opposed to a woman when it comes to refereeing," The New York Times reports him saying.

The organizing committee of FIFA announced Monday that it would recommend the use of video assistant referee technology at the Women's World Cup this summer, bringing refereeing advances introduced at the men's World Cup in Russia last year to soccer's most important women's championship for the first time.

This might just be my inner-cynic jumping out, but it seems unlikely that Peter has found the proverbial "one" while traveling this long and winding path; he's been too busy (poorly) refereeing arguments between the women and injuring himself on golf carts to focus on finding love.

Guardiola, later, was right to point out a handful of refereeing decisions that went against his team — most notably a second goal, just before halftime, that was incorrectly ruled out by an offside call — but, ultimately, that did not explain quite why City wilted so notably in the second half.

The grace-under-pressure lessons here are legion, whether it's getting reluctant guests to leave without ordering them out (it's a crowd-control maneuver known as the chicken walk) or refereeing two international interpreters vying for the place of honor next to their leaders while trying to shove each other off their chairs.

A handful of high-profile mistakes — most notably his admittedly baffling decision this month to send off West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli for being tackled by Manchester United's Phil Jones — have turned the 48-year-old Dean, once more, into a poster boy for all that is wrong with refereeing in the Premier League.
