PIERLUIGI COLLINA IN WORLD CUP 2002 FINAL
Italian referee Pierluigi Collina will take charge of the World Cup final between Brazil and Germany on Sunday.
Collina was described by David Beckham as the "best referee in the world" before officiating in England's group match against Argentina earlier in the tournament.
The Italian, who also took charge of the second round game between Japan and Turkey, previously refereed the 1999 Champions League final in which Manchester United beat Bayern Munich.
He will be assisted in Sunday's final in Yokohama by England's Philip Sharp and Sweden's Leif Lindberg, while Scotland's Hugh Dallas will be the fourth official.
Kuwait's Saad Mane will referee the third-fourth place play-off on Saturday. Uefa president Lennart Johansson, who is on Fifa's World Cup organising committee, echoed the praise for Collina in agreeing he is "widely regarded as the best referee in the world".
Any concerns over Collina's appearance in an advert for Adidas, who sponsor the Germany team, were dismissed by Fifa president Sepp Blatter, who insisted: "I don't see any conflict of interests."
Fifa have admitted to mistakes by officials, most notably over offside decisions involving linesmen, but they are looking for Collina to ensure a trouble-free climax to the tournament.
