No video review during the game. That would be horrible on many different levels. You might as well end the sport rather than have stoppages of play. After the game, dives should be reviewed and punished. I also don't like the selfishness of Robben and some of the other Dutch stars. It's been going on for 20-30 years. They need to do something about it. This good run in the Cup is probably going to make them think everything is fine, but I'm sure in the next Cup they'll go out early again for the same old reasons.

I don't see anyone here complaining about the South American (Guatemala i think) referee who was bribed and cost Italy the game in the 2002 WC. Two legitimate goals for Italy were called offside and a very questionable red card against Totti. Now that's cheating. Where was FIFA then and where were most of you at the time? For those not familiar with the antics of this particular ref, he was eventually barred from refereeing anymore games, but only after he allowed over 20 minutes of extra time in a league game, allowing his locaL team to score. What Suarez did pales in comparison. It certainly isn't cheating. Ghana had the opportunity to make him pay by winning. An opportunity Italy didn't have in 2002.
