Sergey Husainov: Webb or Irmatov should officiate WC final match
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Former head of referees corpus of the Russian Football Union Sergey Husainov in interview with R-Sport reporter said that Ravshan Irmatov from Uzbekistan and Howard Webb from England will compete to officiate the final match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil.

Sergey Husainov underlined that currently Ravshan Irmatov and Howard Webb are the best referees of the World Cup.

He added that Webb has great experience as he officiates in the English Premier League. Russian said that Webb works in very difficult matches in England.

It is difficult to Ravshan compared to Webb. He said that Irmatov played football, but was injured and he had to move to refereeing matches. He had no problems with transitions to refereeing.

Sergey Husainov added that Irmatov is very attractive to FIFA. Irmatov is from Asian Football Confederation as Asian teams rarely reach quarterfinals.

Ravshan Irmatov and Howard Webb are better compared to others. “I think, one of them will officiate the final. Only, many things will depend of the match between Brazil and Germany. If the German side advance to final, all doors will open to Irmatov,” Russian said. He noted that if Brazil reaches the final, Webb will referee the final.
