World Cup is here

Doesn't hockey have something that goes off when the puck penetrates the air space?

The NHL has all their goals reviewed in Toronto

[JakeFlake]

Yes, there is a goal judge that sits behind both goals and activates a red light signaling a goal.

I'd put a laser in the goal to detect the ball crossing it.

[Mesmer]

Calls will always be missed. Although I wouldn't mind them to have review but keep the play going. They do it in hockey sometimes when a goal isn't called correctly and the ref thinks it went off the post.. but it actually crossed the line. They will review it in Toronto and send word down and correct it mid-game pretty quickly.

[Delhommey]

As soon as they start stopping the game, they'll shove in commercials. Then it's a quick trip to the dumbest thing ever invented in sport: the TV timeout.

[Razzy]

I'm with Delhommey, soccer isn't a sport that needs to be slowed down with excessive replays and reviews, it takes away from the nature of the game. However, officials should be able to overturn calls, especially on such a blatant error.

The score would have been 4-2 anyways. Deutschland advances!

Already slobbering over Germany v. Argentina. Argentina has a better team overall, but both teams are very similar tactically and play a great passing game.

[Scutty]

I heard someone moaning away about how England were robbed etc etc. It was then someone pointed out to him that his team won a game thanks to a referees mistake. He sat there with a wry grin on his face.

What goes around comes around.

For a goal, SOMETHING has to be put in place. It won't take any more time than the lame stretcher coming out for a hang nail. Look at the time Ghana killed the other day. Have a sensor in place. Radio the ref, yay or nay play on. Very simple.

What if Germany had won 2-1? Would you still say that?

I agree.... JakeFlake reiterated what I had said, having a few extra officials, especially at an event this large, is just common sense. One guy sitting at the net on that play would have instantly saw that it was a goal.

The NFL is all about greed. The timeout after a kickoff, when you just came out of one for the kickoff, is the biggest bunch of crap on TV.

You don't understand football at all do you. If England equalize there, it's 2-2 and the dynamic of the game changes.

As it stayed 2-1, England had to push men forward and leave themselves susceptible to the counter attack - which is exactly what happened.

It must be slipping my mind. Which game did England win thanks to a refereeing mistake?
