Not that many of you care but there are actually two competitions in the WC. The other is for the referees. Today Mark Geiger of the US performed extremely well as the center of Spain Chile. His positioning was outstanding, command good - not that the players presented any problems - and his confidence high.
He is highly regarded. Now to see what his next assignment is and then to the last 4 games if he continues.

Geiger has been very solid...he also refereed the Colombia-Greece game & was very good!

Hope he gets more games...perhaps, even the WC final ;)

Michigan Football...Harbaugh Effect (GO BLUE!)

LA Galaxy...5-time MLS Cup Champions!

Colombia...VIVA, Cafeteros!

The final is a tall order. My personal favorite is Howard Webb. He had an outstanding performance today in the Columbia Ivory Coast match. Although having a ref do two finals in a row would be a first I think.

Geiger was fourth official in the Italy-Uruguay match. Can't see that as a positive for him moving forward though not fault of his own.

Mark Geiger is the center for France Nigeria tomorrow. So now there is something to look at. B)
If he rates well in the round of 16 he may get another game.

IMO Howard Webb was most effective in Bra Chi today.
