saben donde ha aparcado el coche?


Wikipedia:

"The choice of Graham Poll as referee was surprising since he is familiar to the Australians who play in the Barclays Premiership. Poll sent off three players, including Dario Šimić, Brett Emerton, and Josip Šimunić. In Šimunić's case, Poll possibly made history, booking him three times (61', 90', 93+'). Having forgotten to send him off after his second yellow card, he showed Šimunić a third yellow card followed by a red card immediately after the final whistle. Poll also missed the fact that the Australian equaliser was made from an offside position although this is ultimately the fault of the assistant referee.
Poll also stopped play and blew the final whistle just when the ball was about to cross the Croatian goal line at the 93', denying Australia of a win. This was contrary to referee norms where play is stopped when neither side looks about to score.
No less bizarre was that Poll failed to book any player for manhandling him on several occasions. One of those guilty of this action was Josip Šimunić.
It remains to be seen whether the mistakes, most notably the three yellow cards, have jeopardised Poll's chances of refereeing again in this World Cup, although the omission of the 90 minute yellow card from official records may be indicative of the status of the mistake.
Within half an hour of the game ending, U.K. bookmaker Coral offered odds of 10-1 against Poll refereeing another match at the tournament."
He will be too old for the 2010 World Cup.
