This is the news from soccernet today:

Graham Poll will discover on Wednesday whether his yellow-card blunder means the end of his World Cup.

FIFA's referees committee have confirmed that Poll, England's most high-profile match official, booked Croatia's Josip Simunic three times, only sending him off on the third occasion, in Thursday match against Australia.

The committee will decide on June 28 which referees are going to stay on for the rest of the tournament and which are to go home, and although there were some supportive words for Poll today, he is almost certain to be among those flying out of Germany.

FIFA communications director Markus Siegler said: 'The referees committee will meet on June 28 to decide who is going to stay and who is going.'

A statement from FIFA referees committee president Angel Maria Villar Llona said that Poll was 'an exceptional referee and a great sportsman, who would be able to overcome the situation thanks to his strong personality and love of the game'.

However the committee released a statement confirming a mistake was made, and that Poll had written down the name of Australia's number three Craig Moore instead of the Croatian number three.

The statement read: 'Thursday evening's 2-2 draw between Croatia and Australia in Stuttgart saw referee Graham Poll make an error.

'In the 61st minute of the game the English official showed the Croatian number three Josip Simunic his first yellow card, followed by a second caution with just one minute of the game remaining.

'Instead of ordering the defender off for a second yellow card, however, the referee allowed him to stay on the pitch thinking he had only booked him once.

'Immediately after blowing the final whistle, Poll gave Simunic another yellow card before finally showing him the red.

'The experienced official is disappointed at having committed the error, the first such mistake in his 26-year career.

'The FIFA referees committee also recognised the oversight and the fact that none of the match officials at the stadium picked up on the error.

'In explaining his actions to the committee, Poll said he incorrectly noted down the name of the Australia number three Craig Moore when booking Simunic for the second time and failed to realise his error.'

As well as Poll, English assistant referees Philip Sharp and Glenn Turner, as well as USA's fourth official Kevin Stott and fifth official Gregory Barkey can also expect to learn on Wednesday that they are not being kept on for the rest of the World Cup.


My goodness
how can Graeme Poll make this mistake?

He was booked no.3 for Australian team, not no.3 for Croatia team in 61 mins....

he blew the whistle for what?...

Referee can give the yellow/red card to everyone on the field anytime...
(i.e. he can give a yellow before or after the game)

I think many people don't understand it and make it confused.....
