Sorry about the gap between postings, I had a baby daughter turn up on Monday who won’t be getting that extra thousand dollars’ pocket money this week.
…Anyway, enough talk about the future saviour of humanity, today’s use is, I guarantee, the last soccer reference I will be making, mainly because now we’re out, nobody cares any more. Sorry guys, somebody had to say it.
Anyway, I can’t think of a better candidate to hold the whistle than the little guy with the thick glasses. When it comes to calmly pointing to the penalty spot against all available evidence while thousands of screaming onlookers point out in no uncertain terms your total lack of cognitive ability, the man is unmatched.
Admittedly, he would be following the play at the top speed of a brisk walk, but he’d never tire, and if too far behind the play he’d simply act upon the best advice available to him at the time and you can’t ask for more than that. Besides, those long socks pulled up to his knees kinda suit him.
I’m sure he’ll be available in four years’ time for the next World Cup.
Probably.

Little Johnnie is also pretty quick off the mark to make a decision and blow the whistle in the face of all available evidence. Just like a number of World Cup referees, as you suggest.
A blower of whistles, but not a whistleblower.
