Dutch referee Kuipers to take charge of England's World Cup quarter-final clash against Sweden
Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers will take charge of England's World Cup quarter-final against Sweden on Saturday.
The 45-year-old has officiated at four matches during the tournament so far including Russia's victory over Spain in the last-16.
Kuipers was also the man in the middle for Egypt versus Uruguay and Brazil's victory over Costa Rica in the group stage.

During his 16-year career he has also taken charge of this year's Europa League final between Atletico Madrid and Marseille, the 2014 Champions League final and the 2013 Confederations Cup final.
A good omen for England is that Kuipers took charge of the Under-20 World Cup final victory over Venezuela last year.
But the bad news is he was the referee for the 2-1 defeat to Italy in the opening game at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
