He is a keen poet and golfer and may need those refuges for reflection if he oversees more discord at the Olympic Stadium. 依照他過去執法的習慣 平均每場比賽會發出5張黃牌 有五成機會把人罰下場 他平時喜歡寫寫詩打打高爾夫 或許在Olympic Stadium的決賽之後會更需要這些休閒XD He will be the first referee to control the opening match and the final and only the second to handle five matches at a World Cup. Mexican lawyer Benito Archundia, who refereed the Germany-Italy semi-final, was the first. Elizondo, who speaks Spanish and English, but not French or Italian, is one of South America's most experienced and respected officials, but he has incurred the wrath of players and supporters from Ghana, South Korea and England. 他將是史上第一位同時執法開幕戰與冠軍戰的裁判 同時也是史上第二位在單屆世界盃 執法五場的裁判 第一位是執法德義半決賽的墨西哥律師Archundia Elizondo會說英語和西班牙語 但法語或義大利語他都不會 他是南美最有經驗且受尊敬的裁判之一 然而他之前的判決讓英格蘭迦納南韓的球員 和球迷都相當不滿 His handling of the opening fixture between hosts Germany and Costa Rica was a masterpiece of control and restraint - with only one caution - but Czech Republic's clash with Ghana in Group E was a very different story. 他在德國與哥斯大黎加的開幕戰中執法相當優秀合度 全場只有一次警告 但捷克與迦納的小組賽就完全不是這麼一回事了 Seven players were booked and one, Czech Tomas Ujfalusi, was sent off for a foul that led to Ghana being awarded a penalty. 那場比賽中有7位球員拿牌 Ujfalusi被罰下場 迦納因此得到一顆點球 As Elizondo was completing the dismissal, Ghana's Asamoah Gyan took the kick prematurely. 當Elizondo還沒做好準備時 迦納的Asamoah Gyan就先罰了點球 He was cautioned, for the second time in the tournament, and suspended, despite protests, from their next game against the United States. 他因此被發卡 也是他在小組賽的第二張 使得他在對美國的比賽中因禁賽無法上場 In the Switzerland versus South Korea match Elizondo awarded a controversial 77th minute Swiss goal by over-ruling compatriot Rodolfo Otero's offside flag as Alexander Frei ran clear on to a deflected pass and several Korean defenders stopped playing. 在瑞士與南韓的比賽當中 他將Frei爭議性的入球判為有效 儘管那時他的同胞Otero 已經搖起了越位旗 而且許多位南韓球員都停下了回防的動作 This caused such dismay among the Koreans that FIFA had to block all e-mail messages from Korea to protect their website. Threats were also made to bomb the Swiss embassy in Seoul. 這使得韓國人相當不滿 FIFA官網不得不封鎖全部來自韓國的電子郵件 因為太多人抗議 韓國人也威脅要炸毀瑞士在南韓守都首爾的大使館 On the pitch, Elizondo produced 10 yellow cards, five for each team. 那場比賽中 Elizondo亮出10張黃牌 兩邊各5張 His boldest decision at the finals was to send off England striker Wayne Rooney for stamping on Portugal defender Ricardo Carvalho in their quarter-final clash in Gelsenkirchen. 他在決賽圈最勇敢的一次判決要屬八強戰中將踩在Carvalho身上的魯尼罰下場 Rooney protested his innocence but FIFA president Sepp Blatter gave Elizondo his public support. 儘管魯尼一再抗議認為自己是無辜的 但FIFA主席Blatter給予Elizondo公開的支持 Born on November 4, 1963, Elizondo has been an international referee since 1996. He has controlled the 2002 and 2005 Copa Libertadores finals in South America and two Copa America finals. Elizondo出生於1963年11月4日 1996年開始擔任國際裁判 他執法了2002 2005兩屆 南美解放者盃的決賽(按:相當於歐冠決賽) 也執法過兩次美洲盃決賽 He says he came into refereeing by accident, but now realises how lucky he has been. 說他自己是幸運且意外的踏上裁判這條路 'It was as if I'd been born to do it,' he told FIFA'S website. 'I never looked back. I realised that refereeing combines three things that are cornerstones of my life - sport, teaching and justice.' 他在FIFA官網上說:"好像我生來就是為了要當裁判 我從不後悔 這項工作結合了我人生中 三樣最重要的東西:運動 教育 以及正義" -- 高麗人真猛... --
