In 2010, 4 refs sent home, 2 from Europe, 1 from South America, 1 from Africa.
“Four referees who found themselves at the centre of embarrassing World Cup blunders left for home on Tuesday after failing to make the shortlist for the remainder of the tournament.
Uruguay’s Jorge Larrionda, the man who missed Frank Lampard’s ‘goal’ in England’s 4-1 defeat to Germany, is on the hit-list.
Italian official Roberto Rosetti, who allowed Carlos Tevez’s header to stand despite the Argentinian striker being offside against Mexico, is also heading home.
France’s Stephane Lannoy and Koman Coulibaly of Mali also missed out on the list of 19 referees released by FIFA to officiate from the quarter-finals onwards.”

Filled out a spreadsheet in a contest about 10 days ago, so not as good as when you can change your mind at the last moment.
I predicted Mexico/Cameroon and Netherlands/Spain to draw, Chile to win.
