FIFA takes a lot of flak, and rightly so, but in the case I think they got it spot on.

Thank god United aren't in the final.
But looking at the list, maybe there was no better choice this year
And thinking about it more maybe they decided that Webb performed admirably throughout this tournament, there was no reason to disqualify him and his crew, and the UEFA connection was likely a plus for him. In addition, the language difference made him a more attractive pick.
The Japanese ref is the 4th official in the final so if Webb gets injured....
Archundia of MEX gets the 3rd place match and we all know about him!
