[quote=qwerty007]I’m not up on the technical aspects of instant replay etc, but if this had been a final, and a team that clearly played a better game had a goal disallowed, losing the game, mightn’t that be cause for concern? Anyway, I’m not going to let it spoil my entertainment of the biggest global sporting event. Good luck Algeria, good luck US![/quote]
It’s part of the game. I believe UEFA did experiments with instant reply, but it affects the flow of the game.
Worse oversights have happened before against countries with more influence with FIFA – like Maradona’s hand of God. It’s a goal if the ref says so (and vice versa).
