Last month FIFA announced the names of the 30 referees selected to officiate at this year's World Cup in South Africa.  Among them was 43-year-old Eddy Maillet     from Seychelles.  Maillet has been a FIFA referee since 2001 and since then has officiated in almost 100 internationals including the high-pressure World Cup play-off match last year between Egypt and Algeria in Sudan.  Eddy Maillet talks to us about his delight at being selected for the World Cup and how he copes with the pressure of refereeing high-profile matches.
