No doubt they will be talking about this almost all summer. England lost in the round of sixteen elimination Sunday at the World Cup to Germany 4-1. But, before the first half ended, the Lions had scored what video-replays clearly showed was a goal, but the on-field officials didn't see it that way. That kept England behind 2-1, and in the second half Germany pulled way for the win.
And, then in the Argentina-Mexico game, videos clearly showed Argentina's first goal came with a player offside. But, the refs on the field, missed that, and the goal counted. The powerful Argentines then defeated and knocked out Mexico 3-1.
So, with the world watching this spectacular event, two key plays in big matches clearly showing missed calls, it's probably time to use intsant replay. In my opinion, failure to do so, damages the integrity of such a fabulous competition.
