Blatter praises World Cup referees

Fifa president Sepp Blatter praised the performance of officials at this year’s World Cup despite some contentious decisions and a referee showing a player three yellow cards. ”I am very satisfied with the referees’ performances at the 2006 World Cup. They achieved more than their counterparts in Korea/Japan in 2002,” Blatter said.
