Card sharp8217; sets World Cup record

Mexican referee Arturo Brizio Carter came into France 8217;98 as the most feared referee on the World Cup list. And after the Holland-Argentina quarter-final clash in Marseille on Saturday night he had set a new record for sendings-off. Before the match Carter had a joint record five sendings-off to his name, collected during his appearances at USA 1994 and France 988217;s group matches.

When Holland8217;s Arthur Numan and Argentina8217;s Ariel Ortega were sent packing on Saturday he had taken his record to seven explusions 8211; in only six World Cup matches. Carter, a 42-year-old lawyer, showed he would take no nonsense when he dismissed Zinedine Zidane for stamping and Saudi Arabian Mohammed al-Khilaiwi in a Group C match.

On Saturday, Numan was dispatched to the dressing room after collecting his second yellow. Ortega got his red card for head-butting Dutch keeper Edwin van Der Sar.

But FIFA firmly stood by Carter on Sunday. quot;He just happens to be that he was in the rightplace at the right time or in the wrong place at the wrong time however you want to look at it,quot; said FIFA spokesman Keith Cooper. quot;That is his decision. We will stand by it,quot; he added.
