Alongside Webb at Soccer City will be assistants Darren Cann and Michael Mullarkey. Cann, in particular, has won plaudits for some very good calls in the team’s previous matches.
Former policeman Webb - currently on a five-year career break from his job as a West Yorkshire Police sergeant - and his assistants took charge of Brazil’s ill-tempered second round match with Chile and got a series of tough calls spot-on during Italy’s group defeat to Slovakia.
