    Hell yes, and I'm rooting for Three lions. I'm quite worried about this.

    I'd like England and USA to advance

    USA looking pretty good? Can't watch the game right now but I'm following live commentary and everything sounds positive other than missing easy wide open chances.

    Guess we should've buried one of those wide open empty nets early on, lol.

    So glad the shit call didn't cost us the group.

    I'm curious, why is there such an opposition to instant replay on things like goals? There is stopage then anyways and there are only a few times a game where its relevant. It seems like there are way too many issues with poor officiating (henrys goal keeping ireland outta wc, etc). Is the instant replay thing solely an american thing, and why is it dislikes elsewhere?

    I think they are trying to remain traditional in the sports officiating. What I would like is two extra officials on the goal lines, I liked this experiment in the CL finals and I think this could help a lot with marginal offside calls, in box fouls/offsides as well as being better equipped to see if balls really do cross the lines etc.

    I for one would not like to see replays involved in the sport, it would leave out the drama of the game something we are all used to.
     
  13. #763 CitroenSM, Jun 23, 2010
    I just realized something, USA may actually endup on second place.
    That would be crazy!
     
  14. #764 Pierog, Jun 23, 2010
    offsides should be computer automated. No reason it can't be.
     
  15. #765 Scentless Apprentice, Jun 23, 2010
    How would that work?
     
  16. #766 w00t, Jun 23, 2010
    didnt have a chance to watch the matches today(had presentations all day long, boring!) but congrats usa! is this the first time you move on to the next round?
     
  17. #767 944turb0, Jun 23, 2010
    haha #$%#. i stopped watching assuming nothing would happen but then we win. USA USA USA USA
     
  18. #768 Danno, Jun 23, 2010
    Surely a program could monitor when the ball leaves the foot of a friendly player whether the player that then receives it was in an offiside position. It really wouldnt be that hard i dont think.
     
  19. #769 Danno, Jun 23, 2010
    also, something that has definitely had a huge impact is unneccesary red cards. I think the refs need to be more careful how they hand them out.
     
  20. #770 w00t, Jun 23, 2010
    no computers in football please.
     
  21. #771 thebarron1989, Jun 23, 2010
    im curious why in soccer they cant overturn a decision like in football where the referee can look at the replays and give the final decision if such play or goal is good. its the second time its happened to U.S. but idk i dont know much about soccer other than kick and goal.
     
  22. #772 Scentless Apprentice, Jun 23, 2010
    Its a bit impossible
     
  23. #773 ScoRpFerrari, Jun 23, 2010
    Give the coaches like two challenges a game and then the refs can check for replays. Then add the exact same time to stoppage.

    The computer thing seems impossible, it works for tennis but that's it.
     
  24. #774 w00t, Jun 23, 2010
    because it ruins the tempo
     
  25. #775 SEABEE, Jun 23, 2010
    oh yeah the tempo of soccer
