이 심판, 이번 한국대 스위전에 보인 실수로 씻을 수 없는 인생의 오점을 남겼네요
<호라시오 엘리손 주심 일문 백과사전 본문 내용>
He was appointed to represent Argentina in the 2006 World Cup, together with country fellow assistants Darío García and Rodolfo Otero[2], to referee the opening game of the tournament between Germany and Costa Rica.
In his next match, the Czech Republic - Ghana game, he awarded Ghana a penalty for a challenge by Tomáš Ujfaluši, on Matthew Amoah. However, whilst he was sending off the Czech defender, Amoah prematurely took the penalty without waiting for the referee. It left Elizondo with little choice but to book the Ghanan forward.[3]
In one of the controversial unjustified decisions(이해하지 못할 말도 안되는 결정) in the World Cup 2006, he was the referee in the Switzerland–Korea game, and he awarded the Swiss a goal even though Rodolfo Otero raised the offside flag, most players, including two defenders who were following Alexander Frei (Jin-Cheul Choi and Jin-kyu Kim), stoped playing. Korea at the time was losing 1–0 and needed a win to advance to the next round. Despite his decision was proven incorrect to viewers around the world by replays, he maintained his decision.(리플레이를 본 세계인들에 의해서 명백히 오프사이드임이 입증된 상황에도 불구하고 판정을 번복하지 않았다) The ball was put into the path of Alexander Frei after deflecting off Lee Ho's foot, putting Frei through to score—even though Frei was offside프라이 선수의 오프사이드에도 불구하고(FIFA regulation states deflections don't count as possession, ergo the pass was clearly offside.[4]피파 규정에서는 '빗나감'(이호)은 '통제'로 여기지 않는고로 그것은 분명 오프사이드로 규정한다) Korean coach Dick Advocaat was livid to the point that he had to be restrained.
Another misjudgement(또다른 오판은), though as not as controversial but could possibly have changed the game, was 42 minutes into the first half when a Swiss defender Patrick Müller clearly touched the ball(스위스 수비수 패트릭 뮬러가 명백하게 공을 손댄데도 불구하고) that was coming from a corner kick intentionally with his hand inside the penalty area, but there was no whistle to be heard. The same situation happened again for the second time 8 minutes into the second half. Despite the Korean players raised their hands both times complaining about the play, the referee did not say anything.
