English referee Graham Poll may be at the end of his refereeing career as well as his part in the tournament.
The Tring official faces the likelihood of a suspension from Fifa’s international list .He lost control of Australia’s 2-2 draw with Croatia and displayed remarkable incompetence when he brandished three yellow cards at Josip Simunic before he finally produced a red.
That wasn’t the only poor call.In the Togo vs South Korea Match he showed Jean-Paul Abalo of Togo a red card first and then a yellow.

This world cup will certainly go down as the one where the worst possible rereering was carried out.
Why didn’t any of his assistants correct Poll? And doesn’t good sportsmanship dictate that Simunic (who must surely remember getting booked even if Poll didn’t) should have voluntarily left the field?
