Referee Ellie Mensah (right) disallowed a potential game-draw on France vs. Turkey.

The Diaspora World Cup Organization committee refereeing experts will comment this week on the performance of match official Ellie Mensah in the France 1-0 win over Turkey. As of now the governing body of the Diaspora World Cup would not discuss Mensah's performance before a scheduled follow up this Monday with coaches, presidents of both teams. The DWC committee also has yet to agree if he will be cut from duty before the tournament ends. Analysts and experts believe that referee Ellie Mensah would likely be excluded from any game involving Turkey. If he is found to have made a serious mistake, especially one that affected the outcome, then he would be highly unlikely to play any further part in the tournament.

The referee Mensah sparked controversy by not calling out a potential off side of France with resulted in a goal. Mr. Mensah is known by his peers to be an excellent referee. He has been involved in many league of the Washington DC area including the Maryland Cup, the DC United Cup, and the Discovery cup. It's also noted that Mr. Mensah was the central referee on a Turkey 8-2 win over Niger game last week.

The Diaspora World Cup Organizing Committee is determined to keep refereeing standards high and does not want high-profile mistakes.
