| The 30 Referees of World Cup 2010 Posted: 09 Feb 2010 09:48 AM PST
There were 29 other referees on the list though, some of whom are very much aware that for 20 of the 22 men on the pitch, football is a feet only sport. Your full list of 30 World Cup 2010 referees is as follows: Europe Olegario Benquerenca, Portugal Massimo Busacca, Switzerland Frank De Bleekere, Belgium Martin Hansson, Sweden Viktor Kassai, Hungary Stephane Lannoy, France Roberto Rosetti, Italy Wolfgang Stark, Germany Alberto Undiano Mallenco Howard Webb, England South America Carlos Amarilla, Paraguay Hector Baldassi, Argentina Jorge Larrionda, Uruguay Pablo Pozo, Chile Oscar Ruiz, Colombia Carlos Simon, Brazil Asia Khalil Al Ghamdi, Saudi Arabia Ravshan Irmatov, Uzbekistan Subkhiddin Mohd Salleh, Malaysia Yuichi Nishimura, Japan Africa Mohamed Benouza, Algeria Koman Coulibaly, Mali Jerome Damon, South Africa Eddy Maillet, Seychelles North, Central America and Caribbean Joel Aguilar, El Salvador Benito Archundia, Mexico Carlos Batres, Guatemala Marco Rodriguez, Mexico Australia and South Pacific Michael Hester, New Zealand Peter O’Leary, New Zealand Source: Yahoo!/AP It’s easy to laugh at refs or point out past high profile mistakes. But it’s also worth noting that these 30 men are considered by FIFA to be the best in the world. Even Martin Hansson. So we should recognize their achievement in being selected for World Cup 2010, and cross both fingers and toes that all goes well in South Africa.

| The Unlikely Fan Goes Super Bowl Mainstream. Posted: 09 Feb 2010 06:10 AM PST Those of you hanging around during Euro 2008 may remember The Unlikely Fan from his newfound Oranje fandom after moving to Amsterdam from the States. As you may expect of a comedian, or comedic actor of a comedic troupe, he was quite funny, and his bits – or segments, not the intro – were one of the best things to come out of Euro2008 with Andrei Arshavin, Petr Cech’s mortality and video replay (wait…). In fact we were discussing not a few weeks back whether or not he’d return for the summer shenanigans in South Africa. At least he’s back in some way – in a Super Bowl commercial for Teleflora. South Africa? We’ll have to wait and see. A selection here, or a little reminder after the jump.
