Is this a good sign for the Blues? After eliminating Albiceleste in the round of 16, they will cross the road of an Argentine in their quarter-final against Uruguay. It will be the referee of the meeting, Nestor Pitana, who was designated by FIFA on Wednesday.

He will be assisted by his two compatriots, Hernan Maidana and Juan Pablo Belatti. The fourth referee will bring back good memories to Didier Deschamps and his players since this role will go to the Iranian Alireza Faghani, who was whistling for … France-Argentina
Nestor Pitana, 43, has already refereed three meetings in this World Cup, including the opening match between Russia and Saudi Arabia. He has also refereed Mexico-Sweden and the round of 16 between Croatia and Denmark.
If the choice of Mr. Pitana is amazing, nothing prevents FIFA to appoint for this match a referee whose country has been eliminated in the previous round by one of the two teams. The referees "will be selected from the list of international referees of FIFA in force and must be from member associations whose representative team is not competing in the group or match in question", can we simply read article 11.1. of the rules of the World Cup
