good question...he scored a couple of goals but i agree his typical brilliance has not emerged lately....hopefully he'll bring "it" vs. Brazil.

English referee Poll quits international soccer after World Cup mistake

June 29, 2006

BERLIN (AP) -- English referee Graham Poll, who showed a Croatian player three yellow cards before sending him off in a World Cup match, is quitting international officiating.

Poll told Britain's Sky Sports television Thursday that he considered retiring from all soccer after his blunder, which meant a Croatian player stayed on the field three minutes longer than he should have. The result of the match was not affected and Croatia was eliminated.

However, the 42-year-old referee said he decided to continue refereeing in the English Premier League.

Poll said he took complete responsibility for the error. He showed Josip Simunic a yellow card twice, but did not eject him. Simunic was shown a third yellow card and sent off after the game ended.

"Certainly what happened a week ago is something I deeply regret. Inexcusably, I made an error in law, and most mistakes, most discussion, most controversy, surrounds opinion, and they are things we can always debate.

"But what I did was an error in law, and for that there can be no dispute. It wasn't caused by a FIFA directive or because I referee differently than what I do in the Premier League," Poll said.

Poll said he did not realize he made a mistake until told after the match. Several sleepless nights and thoughts of retirement followed.

"The first two or three days you think about retirement, you think it's all gone wrong, and you start to doubt your ability, but that didn't last for too long," he said. "Because of 26 years of hard work and countless games that have gone extremely well -- you know it's probably been my best season ever -- I will be back refereeing in the Premier League next season.

"It's time for me to let go of the mistake -- nobody got hurt from the error, nobody died. ... What I did was a public mistake, but it didn't affect qualification, it didn't affect the outcome of the match."

Poll worked at the two previous World Cups and was also a part of the 2000 European Championship.

"None have gone right, none have worked for me, for various reasons," Poll said. "We say in life one thing goes wrong it's unlucky, if two things go wrong then maybe you're really unlucky, but if it's three then you have to look at yourself and say something isn't quite right."

GERMANY 1-1 ARGENTINA a.e.t 4-2 PSO
30 June 2006
by FIFAworldcup.com

Germany advance to the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ semi-finals after triumphing 4-2 over Argentina in a penalty shoot-out following a tight, tense match in Berlinfs Olympiastadion on Friday, 30 July 2006 that had ended locked at 1-1.
It proved impossible to separate these sides during normal time, with 120 minutes only able to conjure up a couple of goals, Miroslav Klosefs 80th-minute equaliser cancelling out a 49th-minute opening goal from Roberto Ayala.

That left the match to be settled by penalties, and it was Jens Lehmann who proved the hostsf hero, saving from both Ayala and Esteban Cambiasso, while Oliver Neuville, Michael Ballack, Lukas Podolski and Tim Borowski all successfully dispatched their spot kicks past Argentinafs substitute goalkeeper Leo Franco.
