Has the World Cup referee who hosed the U.S. been benched? Maybe.

Koman Coulibaly -- who set off a firestorm of fan anger when he inexplicably disallowed a goal that could have given the U.S. a victory against Slovenia -- isn't on the list of officials for the next World Cup matches.

The latest list, sent out via e-mail by FIFA, covers games for tomorrow and Wednesday. Those games include the crucial U.S.-Algeria Group C finale on Wednesday.

FIFA likes the job the referees are doing.

That doesn't mean Coulibaly, of Mali, won't oversee further action before the tournament ends July 11. But it raises the question of whether he's facing an unofficial punishment. FIFA announces officials as competition progresses, and won't make a specific comment regarding Coulibaly according to Bloomberg. The head of the officials, Jose Maria Garcia Aranda, is scheduled to meet with news media today, but FIFA said he wouldn't be commenting on decisions made so far during the tournament.
