为避免混淆，一边半场一个。

这届世界杯裁判问题太突出，令人遗憾。最大问题是尺度不一，规则在那里，可伸缩余地太大，全凭裁判各人轰格。我支持严厉判决，可尺度不一，让球队怎么办？

最典型例子是阿墨战海因策的黄牌和意澳战马特拉济的红牌，有记忆的可以明显看出前者性质更严重。

Tandem referees not likely for now, says FIFA

BERLIN (AP) -- Soccer's governing body is not ready to put a second referee on the pitch during this World Cup.

Match officials have come under heavy scrutiny at Germany 2006 amid the record number of red and yellow cards and a spate of questionable decisions, some which have decided the outcome of games. FIFA has ruled out video instant replay, and technology to detect the ball crossing the goal line was shelved because it is not 100 percent reliable.

Two referees in working tandem have been tried, but it was "not the right path to follow" right now, FIFA spokesman Markus Siegler said Tuesday.

"We've carried out tests in the Italian league and cup matches," he said. "At the moment, it's not an actuality."

For any change to take place now, a national association would have to make a formal submission. The International Football Association Board, which governs the rules of the game, would then have the final decision.

In the meantime, one referee, two linesmen and a fourth official will continue to work the games, communicating via microphones and headsets.

After 54 of 64 matches, referees had handed out 24 red cards and 298 yellow cards, both World Cup records. Russian referee Valentin Ivanov was criticized by FIFA president Sepp Blatter for giving 16 cautions and ejecting four players in Portugal's 1-0 win over Netherlands -- records for a World Cup match.

The FIFA referees committee will meet Wednesday to determine which of the 22 officials will remain after the second round. The list is unlikely to be released before committee head Angel Maria Villar Llona speaks at a Thursday news conference.

"We don't want this event to be a public tribunal," said Siegler, declining to make any comment about the referees or referee decisions.

"It's certainly not that you wish it's dominating the discussion," he said.
