Do we need Refs?
Yet again as in every sport, the Ref screwed the pooch again. Time and time again we ask ourselves why the Refs are so bad. Why just the other day in my league basketball game i got called for a foul and the ref was behind me and had absolutely no view of the play. It was a clean block! Easiest thing to say is score more points, but in some sports that is hard to come by aka Soccer/football. In the England Germany game the shot was a yard behind the white line and the refs blew the call. Ultimately it led to the demise of England in what could have been a great game!

It does not stop with goals. When a player from the Ivory Coast put on an Oscar worthy perfomence of acting put one of the world's best players off the field. A replay shows that Kaka didn't even touch the other player. Manu Ginoblie of the Spurs applauded.
Lets start a poll: Should sports constantly be checking replays to make the call or does it take away from the game????

Our local Wolrd Cup studio talked about this too. Cameras should definetelly be there! Then some guys from in here who is referee told about their meetings that it's pretty hard to add those cause then players and coaches wanna check every red cards what some player is gonna get etc. 90min soccer is going to be half a day then if everything gonna be watched on cameras :D

I would vote for YES.
You're right,it really sucks when you see things like this happening.I was so pissed of at that match cos that decision ruined the whole game.I think with that goal England would have been back in the game.
This things shouldn't happen at that level.
It happened again this week in the qualifiers matches for the Europe League to a team from my country.
The match was Lille - Vaslui.It was 0-0 in the tour.The retour was decisive, but the referee ruined all when in the 68th minute he made A VERY HUGE MISTAKE, that changed all the course of the match.
4 metres offside and he was blind didn't saw it.And on top of that he gave red for the romanian goalkeeper.
How can things like this happen.you could see the offside even from the moon...
