That's a bit extreme. The reffing in this tournament, other than a few glaring examples has been pretty good. Have there been really any complaints since the 2nd round and that stupid Sunday?
Two refs from the 4 big leagues Rosetti (ITA) and Stark (GER) are awful and were sent home. And the Spain ref sent off Klose for no reason in the group stage.
The Monday and Tuesday 2nd round matches were fine.
And then..
Holland-Brazil (ref from Japan) good
Uruguay-Ghana (ref from Portugal) good
Germany-Argentina (ref from UZB) good
Paraguay-Spain (ref from GUA) awful
We all know Blind-as-a-bat Batres is crap.
Holland-Uruguay (ref from UZB) good again
Germany-Spain (ref from Hungary) good
So if you have about 10 refs to start the tournament and then narrow it down to 5 or 6 later on, then the tournament will be good. It shouldn't matter where they are from.
