Graham Poll will discover on Wednesday whether his yellow-card blunder means the end of his World Cup.

Fifa's referees committee have confirmed that Poll, England's most high-profile match official, booked Croatia's Josip Simunic three times, only sending him off on the third occasion, in Thursday match against Australia.

The committee will decide on June 28th which referees are going to stay on for the rest of the tournament and which are to go home, and although there were some supportive words for Poll today, he is almost certain to be among those flying out of Germany.

Fifa's communications director Markus Siegler said: "The referees committee will meet on June 28 to decide who is going to stay and who is going."

A statement from Fifa referees committee president Angel Maria Villar Llona said that Poll was "an exceptional referee and a great sportsman, who would be able to overcome the situation thanks to his strong personality and love of the game".

However the committee released a statement confirming a mistake was made, and that Poll had written down the name of Australia's number three Craig Moore instead of the Croatian number three.
