Howard Webb World Cup Final Referee Betting

Englishman Takes Charge for Spain v Holland Final

England will have one major representative at the World Cup final at least. Referee Howard Webb has been selected to take charge of the final between Spain v Holland in Johannesburg on Sunday. Webb, who is a former police officer, has been an international referee since 2005 and is a popular figure in the English Premier League. Spain may not be relishing having him in the middle, as one of Webb’s three games at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, was the match between Spain v Switzerland which the European Champions lost. He also took charge of the group match between Italy and Slovakia and then the last sixteen match between Brazil and Chile. It is the first time since 1974 that an Englishman has taken charge of the World Cup Final, the last time it did happen, Holland lost in the final. World Cup Betting at online bookmakers are not going to let this one slide as the cream of English refereeing rises to the top, and naturally there are plenty of opportunities for you to have a punt on.
