jus read from Soccernet..
his name is not is the retain list..
The 12 referees retained are: Toru Kamikawa (Japan), Coffi Codjia (Benin), Benito Archundia (Mexico), Horacio Elizondo (Argentina), Jorge Larrionda (Uruguay), Mark Shield (Australia), Massimo Busacca (Switzerland), Frank de Bleeckere (Belgium), Luis Medina Cantalejo (Spain), Markus Merk (Germany), Lubos Michel (Slovakia), Roberto Rosetti (Italy).
Can you be a little more objective? Ofcourse, big football nations is likely to produce more seasoned refrees. that said, Poll from England was excluded because of the fiscal ofr 3 yellow card to on player during the Aus-Cro game. Last time I looked, Englad is a strong footballing nation. What's the name of that guy from Benin, he is in, and last look, Benin is definately not a strong footballing nation.kelccm said:

Hey, football always come with passion. This is not about being objective, but being disappointed that current form counts for nothing and indulging a bit of conspiracy theory about FIFA. Poll was not selected as his mistake was too big to be discounted. Also in the World Cup, reputation and experience with big occasion will be the main criteria. But who really knows what strings were pulled behind the scene.

My take on this is that, if you look at the list, there's at least one ref from each major continent. Mind you, the next world cup will be in Africa. If Blatter had not chosen an african ref, imagine the noise. Anyway, I think FIFA already have certain 'more experience' refs to choose from rather than Shamsul... nvm it's his first outing, hopefully it'll not be the last we hear of Shamsul being nominated to officiate major matches... anyway, job well done.

Its simple. FIFA is not kelong but they're a bunch of kuku birds.
Sept Blatter and FIFA instructed refs before the WC to come down hard on players who play act or rough play like elbow etc. When the cards are shown, Sept Blatter made noise and critisied his refs. kuku or not?
Racism they want to kick out but what is the punishment? A measly fine of a few thousand euros on the offending FA and club. What is a few thousand euros to those FAs and clubs?
Remember, Sept Blatter once said that women footballers should wear short sexy shorts and top when playing. :bsmilie:
But yeah, Shamsul already performed over expectations, I don't really expect him to ref the semis or final. But a Q-final slot will be nice. Or assisting 4th official.
