Poll's third game of the tournament saw Croatia take on Australia. The game ended 2-2, putting Australia through to the next round, but the story was far more than that. Poll sent off three players, including Dario Šimiæ, Brett Emerton, and Josip Šimuniæ. In Šimuniæ's case, Poll almost certainly made history, booking him three times. Having forgotten to send him off after his second yellow card, he did finally show him a red card in the second-half added time period.[1].

It remains to be seen whether Poll has jeopardised his chances of refeering again in this or any World

The world cup of bad refs. That may be how this is remembered. So far we've had at least 4 badly refed games.
