Carlos Eugênio Simon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlos Eugênio Simon (born 3 September 1965) is a FIFA football referee from Brazil, and he is also a journalist and a former trade unionist. Simon has been a referee since 1998 and his first international game was between Ecuador and Peru. He was a referee in the 2002 FIFA World Cup and 2006 FIFA World Cup. He's been the top Brazilian referee for several years, and he is expected to head to a record third World Cup in a row in 2010.

During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Carlos Simon officiated at three matches. In the second-round match between Germany and Sweden, he came under criticism from BBC pundits for sending off Sweden's Teddy Lučić for a second bookable offence saying the second yellow card was totally unfair. He also controversially grinned at Lučić after pulling out the red card.[1].
