Robert Evans Blog Analyzes Howard Webb's Performance in the World Cup Final
Updated Jul 18, 2010
For those of you who do not follow Robert Evans, he is an Welsh ex-pat living in northern California, and a retired international referee who works as a Referee Inspector for USSF. His long career includes substantial time in the old NASL.
Evans writes a blog where he comments on goings-on's from around the world, and has been posting regularly during the World Cup. His analysis of Howard Webb's performance in the World Cup Final was posted this morning and is a very strongly opinionated but seemingly accurate analysis of why the match ended with 14 cards. For anybody working playoff-level soccer matches, I strongly recommend you give it a read.
