Talk:2006 FIFA World Cup officials

Who officiated at which match?
I made a temporary edit here of a way of compacting the ref's and assistants to make room in the table for a record of what matches they covered, and poss even their card tallies. I have to go out now, but please take a look and suggest whether it is worthwhile, or even develop it. Ta Kevin McE 12:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. What about fourth and fifth officials? Rich Farmbrough 12:49 18 June 2006 (GMT).
 * Done. Space, and the nagging feeling that no-one other than their loved ones is very interested in them, mean I have omitted the 4th and 5th officials.  If anyone knows how to make bordered flags, the flags of England, Slovakia, Singapore and Russia would benefit from it.  Please note that I have totalled the cards: they are not listed here by match (plenty of other articles where they are).  I have not yet looked up the Brazil Australia rref.  Although FIFA announce referees a few days in advance, I would suggest that we do not enter the alloted games here until the game has been played, so that a reader can see at a glance how many matches the cards have been issued in.  The other thing that occurs to me is that the rticle is now no longer a "mere" list, so someone who knows how to might rename it.  Kevin McE 19:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Flags for Assistant Refs
Should the flags come before the name, just to be consistent with other pages (and make the table look neater)?

Officials for South Korea vs. Switzerland Match
I don't know if it's just me or what. I've looked at the table a couple of times and I don't seem to see it. The day of this match was June 23, 2006. Does anybody know which official it was?

Sent Home
It has come to my attention via the BBC news website that Graham Poll, among 14 other officials have been sent home. Could this be researched an worked into the article? - Moitio (talk) 18:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Elizondo Yellow Card Tally
I'm quite certain Horacio Elizondo has given only 20 yellow cards, and not 22 as the chart claims. He gave out 1 yellow in Germany-Costa Rica, 6 yellows in Czevh Republic-Ghana, 9 in Switzerland-Korea, and 4 in England-Portugal. Unless my math is very poor, that only adds up to 20. The 22 number might be mistaken from the total number of cards he's given, which is 22. (He gave out a straight red in both England-Portugal and Czech Republic-Ghana.) I'm fixing this in the chart. If anyone has reason to believe other numbers are correct, please note it here and switch it back. Vickser 03:36, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
