Referee list for 2010 World Cup released

The referee list for the World Cup kicking off in June has been released by FIFA.

The full list, it that interests you, can be downloaded from the FIFA website here, but as most of our visitors come from the UK and USA - the English speaking countries, you´ll be interested to know who is representing you.

From England, it is Howard Webb and his two assistants will be Darren Cann and Michael Mullarkey. No doubt they will have a good tournament.

The USA didn´t actually get a referee for the finals, however they did have Jair Marrufo make the list of prospective referees.

Chances are he didn´t make the final cut after getting suspended by the MLS in September for ¨poor performances¨, although he is a well respected referee and is expected back soon.

All 30 referees (plus the 60 assistants), selected from 28 countries will take part in a training seminar next month. Good luck refs and remember; two yellow cards and a player is off.
