At this point its tough, Spain and Germany are both in my top 3 teams. Spain has been an okay goer – and Germany has been crushing everyone, literally. Germany is going hard and i think it might end up being Holland and Germany. Go Germany (or Spain).
The 4th ref was added after that game. The idea of being able to challenge a certain action once or twice per game is very interesting. Soccer still has a long way to go, let’s see what will happen. btw, who you think will win?
Are you kidding me? SInce when is there a ref behind the goal? the 4th Ref is on the sideline and assists in timing and switching in players. I agree that soccer should stay the way it is, as traditional as possible yet maybe there should be a similiar step as in American Football where a coach could challenge a call once per game!? Spain vs. Germany is up next.
Well, I am not quite sure how it will work with technology playing a role in soccer. Even though technology might help prevent certain situations like that, it won’t really have a chance to come into use because soccer doesn’t have a lot of breaks, and if they were too constantly take breaks and take a quick look for a certain action, then the game would lose its flow. Because of this incident, they already added another referee behind the goal, which might have a little impact, but mistakes are mistakes, and yes they can change the entire flow of an entire world cup, but this is soccer and this is how it works. The only way it could work with this technology is if they had another ref at the top in the tower to watch the replays to communicate through a microphone with the main ref about certain situations, but let’s see how it rolls.
