I wish FIFA could find a way to review just the simple things. They already tack on extra time for injuries. How long would it have taken to review that a ball was 3-4 feet past the line? You could have a 3 year old in the replay booth tell you if it crossed the line in less than 30 seconds. I've seen celebrations after a goal waste a good 1 1/2 to 2 minutes of game time. Keep the game clock rolling if that's the big issue. Get with the times FIFA. Why not take the time to get the call right? Why not have some integrity in the sport? The score ended up 4-1 and Germany would have probably won anyway, but who knows if England was granted the goal they scored to make it 2-2, it was a huge momentum changer.
I look forward to the World Cup every 4 years and you can ask Ulmo, the more I watch the more I get bitter over the lack of officiating and consistency in the rules. It's probably the most intense edge of your seat sport you can watch, it's just sad that FIFA is stuck in their ways. If I have to sit through the Italians acting like they just got blasted by a shotgun when they are barely touched and watch them roll around on the ground for a couple of minutes then I'd be willing to sit through a minute of the officials taking the time to get a goal/non-goal call right. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with this.
