throughout the entire World Cup the referees have been terrible!...once again changing the outcome of a match and the minds of the players and the momentum of the match ...it's time FIFA takes a long hard look at technology... at the very least goal line technology that can help in determining what is a goal and what is not like in Hockey!...
....FIFA claims they want to keep the game pure by not using modern technology and yet the Refs have ear-pieces that they communicate with the other refs with that tell them to watch players who are involved in fouls that the head ref may have missed and subsequent yellow and red cards as well as penalty kicks have been issued using this technology so imho FIFA is full of it!
...not only has the USA suffered at the hands of the officials but every team out there including England who had a pure goal today that went unseen by any official on the field but was seen by millions watching the match!....this goal may have not done anything for the final outcome in some minds but we will never know as it wasn't granted!....the mind of a futbol player and a team can change quickly and the momentum of a match can be determined by a bad call as much as a good call but there is nothing greater to boost moral than a goal!
The World Cup is the largest sporting event in the World and it's about time they ...meaning FIFA gets into the new Millenium with some technology that will benefit the game and even the playing field across the board...maybe with this new technology the USA will finally get involved in trying to learn the game and enjoy it as much as the entire World...rant off!
A Big +1 from me on your comments Oscar (I agree 100%
)...Despite the very exciting and excellent games in the World Cup, the poor referee'ing that has been pervasive throughout the entire World Cup has taken away from the great gameplay and HAS and WILL affect the final outcome of this great World Cup. ...which is really such a pity...
