I don't want to turn this into a gambling convention, but given the miserable state of refereering in this tournament, I thought it'd be fun to pick which of the 12 remaining refs (14 have been sent home by FIFA already) will make it all the way through to the final.

The list of 12:

Toru Kamikawa, Japan
Coffi Codjia, Benin
Benito Archundia, Mexico
Horacio Elizondo, Argentina
Jorge Larrionda, Uruguay
Mark Shield, Australia
Massimo Busacca, Switzerland
Frank de Bleeckere, Belgium
Luis Medina Cantalejo, Spain
Markus Merk, Germany
Lubos Michel, Slovakia
Roberto Rosetti, Italy

I can't for the life of me work out why Merk is still in that list, but the one to ref the final, in my mind, has to be Cantalejo. Even if he did send Australia crashing out, the bastard.

Any chance of some bonus points to the WC predictions for correctly guessing the ref?
