>Would you go for video replay of "crucial" plays... No, the game must go on, there is clearly no opportunity to stop the game and have the refs go the cameras like NFL refs do in one of their hundred stoppages...Then again, if they did that, the media here could pop in some commercials and fans could go get their hot dogs...=======>more success for the sport?<g> >Leaving the refs as "all-mighty-and-powerful" at times seems unfair and a review might be in order. We are all reviewed AFTER the games are over, especially in WC games. Reviewers tend to be lenient since they are fellow refs and I bet you gross mistakes like that linesman in the Italy-Croatia game will be taken into account and will cause these violators not to ref in a WC game or internationally for (at least) a while or ever!
