Marco Antonio Rodriguez AKA Little Dracula
Not good news that FIFA has decided to go with this little psychopath to ref the first game. Described as an "unbending disciplinarian who loves dealing out cards to players." He's notorious for sending off three players in a Mexican play off title, guaranteeing victory to the team with 11 on the pitch in the end.
I'm confident that England has the quality, but it's a constant thing that FIFA deals out the scariest ref possible for us. If I were Sven and Tord, I'd call in Rio, Terry, Gerrard, the Coles, and Becks and spell it out to them. Rio and Terry and Gerrard, no lunging tackling, period. The Coles and Becks, zip it!
C'MON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree that this is a boneheaded move on FIFA's part, but I'm not sure that it'll make a huge difference. Judging by yesterday's matches, the group matches will be open affairs with lots of scoring. I'd be more concerned if he were appointed to do our quarterfinal match with Argentina. But I expect goals, goals, goals today rather than a tense affair with tight defending. I'll be looking for at least 4-0 England.
Come on you England boys!
Let' hope so on all accounts
Davey-boy! Are you bunking off the tourney or did Matt hitchhike? In either case, welcome. This is the big day.
I am here. Kathy is doing the first shift.
Is this the window we are following the game on or are you making a new one with THREE LIONS instead of one Dracula as the opening?
I've just put up another window - post in there, dude. And let's be having your predictions. Scroll down to the Predictions Game and get 'er done!
Ludwig.
Perhaps not the best referee in the world, but how can you argue he is bad one? Have you even seen him playing? Talking about inepts: the German referee in the USA vs. Ghana match, or the English Poll in his different games.
Give this guy a chance.
