I think it may be more a keeper who will push Hart rather than a Hart backup. Lets see how Hart plays under pressure.Weird. Spunking that much on a reserve GK.
Or Pellegrini doesn't rate Hart now ?
Willy is really a good keeper.

Well, he is one of the fifteen referees who are asked to stay. Apparently the final will be officiated by a Mexican ref. I would bet that for the semi it'll be between Webb and Proenca (likely Webb), the final between Proenca and Kuipers (likely Proenca especially with Holland being a possibility of going in the final) while the game for the third place to be officiated by a non-European referee like Irmatov or Nishimura (or that Argie referee if Argentina reaches the final).

Well if Juve sell Pogba that's it with Vidal coming to us.
City no chance, Chelsea very possible. Id be so pissed off.It would be a double pisser if City or Chelsea are the ones who buy Pogba, too.
Proenca wasn't bad on that game (despite what Mexico manager said). Also, he has been (together with Kuipers) the best European referee for a few years now. It would be harsh to not give him an another game. Cakir is a decent shot, he has been very good on this tournament and in general is a great referee (if we can go past Nani's incident). Irmatov shouldn't get anything, he has been absolutely horrible on this tournament regardless that he was by far the best ref on the last World Cup. Still, I guess that it'll be a lower profile referee for that game. Forgot completely for Rizzoli, he'll be in contention for all the three matches.Mexican Ref Marco Rodriguez has gotten the Semi between Brazil - Germany.
Kuipers who would have been the favorite for the final otherwise has been sent back already actually due to dutch making the Semi's ruling him out now.
Argentina vs Netherlands is most likely to go to our old friend Cuneyt Cakir from Turkey as per most permutations and performances if there are no surprises.
As for the final depending on who reaches there, Eriksson, Rizzoli and Irmatov should be the names in contention rightly or wrongly with Geiger and Haimoudi dark horses.
Doubt Proenca gets another game at all after Mexico vs Netherlands.
Webb might get 3rd place playoff as farewell gift of sorts. Dunno though but teams that have qualified don't suit him right now unless he is given the final again which is very unlikely.
It would be a double pisser if City or Chelsea are the ones who buy Pogba, too.

There were rumours that it will return.His point being? Not been on the badge for bloody years.

Webb has 0 chance of getting the final. He may get that third place game as a farewell but two finals can't get anyonw, not even Collina on his prime.
There was talk early last season that Woodward was pushing for the words "football club" to be put back on the badge.His point being? Not been on the badge for bloody years.

Oh, forgot that giving Proenca another Dutch game will be risky because people will say that he helped them on the past, despite that actually he should have given them a pen in the first half and the penalty was still a penalty (regardless Robben's exaggeration). So, the only way for him to get the final would be if Argies go there instead of Holland.Agree Proenca deserved another game probably but he cannot get the Dutch now so that limits his options and Disagree on Proenca's performance. He did miss a couple of incidents before that too and has been okayish this WC. Not among the best.
Agree on Irmatov completely though. He is ordinary referee but has now done most WC games of any referee in history joint and still has 2 WC's to go. (That's like the best referees ever territory.) Could see him looking out of his depth again in a Semi or Final if it is a tough game like Carballo.
Dunno, what it is with him and why FIFA rate him highly ? Maybe he has some controversial photos of Blatter or something.
1999 called, they want their Breaking News back

Wasn't there talk of the football club being back on the badge this year?His point being? Not been on the badge for bloody years.
