mebfeathPoll Quits International Football
ENGLISH referee Graham Poll has decided to retire from international tournaments after his high-profile blunder in the Australia-Croatia Group F game at the World Cup finals. He showed three yellow cards to Josip Simunic of Croatia before sending him off in the 2-2 draw on June 22. A clearly emotional Poll said on Sky Sports News that he deeply regretted his mistake, which he described as "inexcusable".
I don't think he should have retired; he had a good track record until this game. I kinda feel bad.

*laughs* HECK yeah. We just seemed to get a really bad run of refs...
