Nearing sixty days before the tournament is to kickoff, the FIFA Referees Committee finished their deliberations and selected a team of 170 match officials for the biggest ever World Cup. One should offer the necessary and much-deserved congratulations to them all, and commiserations to all those who missed out - for some of them, some very painful days are ahead, and we wish them well in their recovery. 

Some thoughts on FIFA's choices follow.
