Thanks for this intelligent contribution to the debate!Originally Posted by bluemovie
The Cooper Test (or Cooper Run) measures how far someone can run in 12 minutes on a running track. Usually 2800/3000 metres is considered to be top class. I am sure the UEFA/FIFA requirement is 2800 metres minimum.
2 of the 23 referees appointed for the WCFinals have still to pass fitness tests.
On the subject of WCF referees, included in the final 23 are referees from traditional football strongholds such as Guatemala, Benin, Singapore and Jamaica, so no reason why an Irish referee should not make it.
