Tomorrow's Italy game RUINED.

[Trigger]

Howard Webb takes charge.

 

[Timbo]

Only seen Howard in one game yet and to be honest he's been the best referee I've seen so far. Good chance of getting semi final or final providing England dont let him down!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Big club Homer ref, which is a shame as he used to be really good.

 

[El Turi]

I thought he did a decent job for the Switzerland - Spain game.

 

[HP Seagull]

The best referee I have seen in the tournament so far.

 

[The Wizard]

Better than most I have seen so far any way.

 

[KneeOn]

I thought he did a decent job for the Switzerland - Spain game.

This.

At least in the 15 minutes that I saw.

I would not worry too much. Italy will be lucky to win tommorow anyway, they are in a process of transition like France lol.

Lippi has made a few mistakes by not bringing along Rossi, Cassano and Balotelli and few others and rely on this old team that won the WC 2006.

If Italy do get any further than 1/4 final I think a lot of people will be amazed. At the moment it looks like they could not even beat the Albion.

However, Italy are always an unknown qty, you just don't know whats going to show up in the next match.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Must be the only Englishman hoping England go out, that way he'll be in with a chance of the final or at least a semi

 

[Timbo]

Can he do a semi final if england were in the other one?

 

[SussexHoop]

Saw the thread title and assumed someone had told you the score.

 

[Willow]

Can he do a semi final if england were in the other one?

No, but probably why he is in with a shout.

 

[Wilko]

Must be the only Englishman hoping England go out, that way he'll be in with a chance of at least a semi

I've often wondered how great it would be to be an English ref at the world cup.

I;d send off three of the Italians in the first five minutes and just watch what happens.
