i suppose all highly visible events get some kind of controversy...
and this worldcup is no exception.
no love for the refs and their difficult job.
calls by refs have been making huge impacts in the worldcup games.
usa had it's fair share, or maybe a bit more.
england had it's comeback goal unfairly taken away.
ireland would have qualified, instead of the shameful french.
watching these games, it became more than obvious to the world
that the current 1 center, 2 linesmen fifa setup is horribly inadequate.
just 1 ref in the booth, with a 5 second replay window to review,
mic'd into the other 3 would fix it.
their sole duty to review and advise, not overrule.
hey fifa, get with the technology of the times.
this would help the game, not hinder it.
nor would it make it less beautiful.
