They made that official statement today by saying that they are well deserved. After the U.S.-Italy game every commentator stated that it was a complete joke. That South American ref shouldn't have even been out on the pitch because he was banned from officiating the last World Cup. Other South American refs agreed that he was incompetent and had made numerous poor calls in South American games. He had a history of inconsistency. No reasonable person would make the statement theat FIFA did. Even the organizer Franz Beckenbauer (probably spelled incorrectly) said that there was entirely too many yellows. It was irresponsible for FIFA to make that statement today. Many fans expected punishment to be dealt out by FIFA and FIFA took a huge step in the other direction by showering incompetent refs with praise. Something smells fishy here.
