Just saw on the FIFA Website that Uruguayan Jorge Larrionda has been appointed the match referee.

Terrible news that we have a south American referring our game and even worse he's card happy. This cant be good for our 'physical' style although Serbia aren't the most gentle team out there.

His wiki page shows that the American's really hate him and he's had his fair share of controversies.

Hopefully he has a good game tonight.

Emerton got off with a yellow card for that tackle

Going in with studs showing, two footed and both feet off the ground. Rotten challenge

But FIFA are biased :-" :-k
