Full coverage of the refereeing from World Cup 2010, including full refereeing highlights, as the tournament reaches its tenth anniversary this month.
The end of an era. Only four (!) referees who were in South Africa returned four years later - this, the last World Cup before the Blatter-ordered revolution in FIFA Refereeing, was actually pretty exceptional. Not that the officiating was flawless, that it was certainly was not, but it brought together, for the last time at a World Cup, an eclectic mix of styles and referees, many of whom seem incredibly antiquated by today's standards. It is quite hard to believe that this was a mere decade ago.
Next week you will able to find a sample of our review from the tournament, which will be available on our small blog, Whistles of the Past.
For now, please find full refereeing highlights, thanks to the amazing work of HowardMaxi, of all sixty-four games in the links below.
Enjoy!
