The U.S. could do worse than looking to other countries and their practices. I hope soccer doesn’t lose its soul by adopting ridiculous American practices like instant replay on subjective calls.[/quote]
Ok, Where to begin?
So…?
– Soccer soul = accepting incompetent (or bribed) refs
– Using technology to clarify situations = ridiculous American practices
Embracing Third World mentalities is fine for specific cultural rituals like standing in a circle and jumping up and down, but com’on, this is the biggest international sporting event in the world! Shirley, you can push aside the voodoo mask and update the standards. It’s not that hard to get it right.
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!
