It depends, like the person above me said, they might possibly be bribed in blind of the FIFA Administration, But, Sometime the Refferee doesn't see the tackles, hits, etc. well and might just be getting more Problems.

I think there have been a lot of crucial bad calls, the worst was when the french scored and weren't awarded a goal.  The giving of cards doesn't seem consistent, so I doubt if it's a fifa policy.  I've watched the last 4 world cups and this is the first time the officiating has gotten so much attention.  Hopefully it will improve in the next rounds.

believe Fifa is really going to be serious about it, considering that they've actually sent representatives to all 32 teams to instruct them on the consequences of foul play. \n\nAnd yes, Fifa is addressing your concerns regarding tackles from behind/are high, as well as diving. Refs have been issued strong reminders to deal strictly with playacting, faking fouls and time wasting tactics, so I guess these will help to make the games faster and quicker.\n\nBut then again, refs are already quite strict: I ran a search and found that in 2002, at South Korea/Japan, there were 257 yellow cards and 17 red cards, which really are relatively high figures.\n\nStill, I do hope the playacting and unfair tactics and all other nonsense stops! =P

The winners of the World Cup final will earn £10.75m as part of a total prize pool of £130m for the tournament. \n\nFifa announced on Tuesday that the 32 teams taking part will be guaranteed at least £2.6m each in prize money.

Last year £786 million in wages alone was paid to 2,347 professional footballers, that's roughly equivalent to the GDP of Mongolia in 2005. Of that sum, £583 million went to Premiership players. And the likes of Steven Gerrard and David Beckham are reported to earn over £100,000 A WEEK – that's more than £5 million a year - not bad for playing a bit footy.

Mexico I think. They have 2 referees in this year's WC.\nOther countries seem to only have one each.\n\nWe're talking about referees here, not assistant referees.

FIFA announced today they will be taking no further action against Figo. Portugal's manager is planning to appeal Deco's red card. No news on the ref, Ivanov. Three highly regarded European refs have had bad matches, Ivanov, Merk, and Poll. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all three again.

Yes its 18.7 million euros to the wiiner + money price from the federation of the winning country. So thats around 25 million Euros. So thats like 1 million euro prize money for each player that wins the cup. Around 1.4 million dollars. Some players will get all that money even thou they were benched the entire time!!!!\nIts good to represent ur country, even if it is on the bench. je je

No.  How else can the officials keep the game moving?  I mean, players would argue every single call.  Also, the officials should be respected -- they are the police of the sport.  Besides, what is $1,000 to a guy who earns millions?  To us it would hurt, to them -- "Who cares?"

The Referee's at this World Cup are being paid $600 US per day that they are still required with full clothing and everything else available to them and are working almost a 12 hour day at the very least.

Yes, the country's federation pays a certain amount of money for each yellow or red card given. I vaguely remember an announcer during one of the group matches saying that a yellow card would be at least $400. \n\n(Hope that helps somewhat! -Shuff)

Maybe they're worse than the Togo players, asking for too much money. \n\nRefs got paid $40k per game, apparently ... but maybe they wanted more? hehe ... \n\nAustralia should've got a second penalty against Croatia, the second handsball inside box was clear .. duh ... \nHad they got the second penalty and made it, I didn't need to sweat that much this morning ... lucky my heart's strong enough to watch the drama. Go Aussie!

I think the problem is FIFA, who give so many directives before such a major tournament, it confuses the referees... FIFA should say "you are here because you are the best referees in the world, keep doing what you're doing."
