Your and my Top10 Referees for 2010/2011

Ravshan Irmatov, your referee of the season 2010/2011 *

The recent poll defined our top10 list of referees for the last season 2010/2011 which includes competitions like UEFA CL, EL, CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, AFC Asian Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup as well. The U17 World Cup is not included in this season. As I had a few other names in my brain, I will present both, your and my list.

Carlos asked me to that as most of the readers and voters here are European so that it is nearly impossible that everyone has seen each match of Pezzotta or Roldan.

Community's list:

1 Ravshan Irmatov (UZB, 38 votes, 63%)
