He may not get many opportunities to ref in the top league, doesn't mean he's bad.
I doubt that the Tahitian ref get a game, he's already been a 4th ref in one of the games, he'll be a 4th ref again in the USA-Ghana match. He's there for experience.

Doesn't mean he's bad; but does mean there's much better.
As Bagor pointed out, they don't take the best refs in the world, and that's a mistake.
No one is saying these guys are complete tools or anything like that; just that there's better refs left out due to the political correctness of the selection process.
