FIFA can’t erase the injustice that happened to the U.S. Soccer team last Friday against Slovenia, but at least Koman Coulibaly won’t be around to screw over another country.

Controversial referee Koman Coulibaly was left off FIFA’s list for the next batch of World Cup matches following the error that cost the United States a victory against Slovenia.

Yahoo! Sports revealed on Friday that Coulibaly was “highly unlikely” to take any further part in the tournament after being given a poor evaluation by assessors following his decision to disallow Maurice Edu’s 86th-minute goal. FIFA confirmed yesterday that Coulibaly will not play any part in Tuesday or Wednesday’s matches, which will include Team USA’s critical Group C finale against Algeria.

Obviously this doesn’t erase the fact that a careless referee cost the United States three points, but I am glad to see that FIFA is taking the appropriate measures to make sure they have the best refs possible for every match. Koman Coulibaly is not one of the best referees so he should not be able to participate any further.
