You can't use replays to call offsides.... What happens if there was not an offside? You can't continue the play that was stopped. It just would not work. The uses of technology in the game have to be extremely well thought out due to this kind of issues. Also, football is not a sport played only in rich first world countries, this is also an important fact. It is a completely different thing from baseball or american football (which are played mostly in USA(both of them) and Japan(baseball) as far as I know but I could be mistaken). If the usage of technology became standard then all professional teams will be forced to get this equipments. Teams in poor countries and b and c series can be extremely modest to the point of not being able to afford to keep the green in their grass(seriously). Heck, I have seen A league teams who can't afford to cover holes in the field (its quite fun to see the forwards try to score while practically swimming in front of the goal though). Would it be vaguely reasonable to expect this guys to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get the standard equipment? Heck no, it'd be unreasonably stupid and even beyond moronic. It reminds me of the south park episode where they found the cure of aids.... It turns out the cure was to blend 180000 dollars and inject them straight into your vein. Right after you saw a bunch of thrilled people telling this to the people in africa....

FIFA: We found a solution to all the plausible unfairness in football?

People: Awesome, what is it?

FIFA: You have to spend tens of thousands of dollars in top notch equipment!

European A league: PFFFF, been there done that.
Eupean B and C league: I guess we can work with that....
South american A league(top teams): hhmmmm.... I guess we can cut a few expenses and do this...
South american B and C league: HAH.... I think I heard wrong..... Wait what? Ok people, you are NOT gonna get paid this month and if you do not win games to bring more followers to the games things are gonna stay that way.

Lets not even touch africa and asia....

You do not need continue the play, you simply bring it back to where the offence occurred and have the team take a freekick. A similar thing happens when referees award advantages when there are fouls. If the fouled team is unable to take advantage of it, the referee bring it back to the place of the foul and awards a freekick for the fouled team.

As for the problems leagues will be facing, i am not certain but isnt the cost going to be covered by the football associations themselves who are helped by FIFA? Its not only the leagues responsibility.

 

[blai]

No, not down to the, for example fifth "elite" division in Sweden. SFF does not cover such costs. But if we're talking about an extra ref, then yes, since it's the SFF that assign refs.

 

[Bugzee]

LMAO! muahahaha go Brazil! What a goal!

The Netherlands GK looked like he was about to cry.

 

[DanielKnoT]

Is been working this way without Replays, HD Cameras, etc, etc for more of 150 Years.. So, why it is need it now?

It will be a pain in the ass, for the players, coach, fans that are paying a ticket in the stadium if someones comes and say: "Hey, lets stop the game and see the replay carefully to see if was a goal or not, or if was a penalty or not"

This is not tenis, or baseball where matches can last up to four hours or more..

If some referee make a bad decission or call, FIFA just fire him and put another one and problem solved.

 

[goldb]

I think one of the main reasons why it would be a problem to introduce goal-line technology is it's gonna slow down the game and football is a game that should be free flowing and where the ref plays as much advantage as possible.

If goal-line technology is introduce, do you think it'll just stop there? People will want video replays for fouls and offsides, then the next thing you know football becomes a 4hour game like tennis where everything is contested and challenged.

Not looking good for Brazil, I feel they've been quite complacent gifting Holland that first goal. They looked like they were cruising in that 1st half but it looks all over.

 

[Googlez_kun]

How could Brazil lose against them?Can't say im really satisfied with this game...

 

[destiny4ever]

Noooooooooo!!!! Brazil is gone!!! I feel so sad and disillusioned; they were playing so well at the beginning of the game. But after that auto-goal, it seemed like Brazil couldn’t fully recover, they couldn't return to playing great again.

One of my 4 was sent home…I hope the other 3 can pass to the next round...

 

[L0ki]

Jajajajaja, chau brazucas!

 

[Bugzee]

MUAHAHAHA!!!!!! Argentina ftw!

I'm going to be celebrating like Diego once we beat Germany! I'm sorry Brazil, I hated Dunga with a passion. I'm so happy that he didn't win. Ronaldinho should've been in the squad; NO MATTER WHAT! Kaka + Ronaldinho. That's all you needed to make things work.

 

[blai]

How could brazil loose? Because Holland had luck with 1-1 and then Brazil's gameplan fell apart, they didn't know what to do, and Holland got shitloads of energy, slowly took over the game, and after a while, completely outplayed them.

 

[Estranho]

Do you know the name of the declassification of Brazil?
Felipe Melo.

 

[DanielKnoT]

Well finally Netherlands got their revenge jajajajajajajaj....!!!!!!!!!!

Now is your turn DIEGO!! Go Argentina!!

 

[L0ki]

tristeza nao tem fin

 

[Diadz]

(youguyshavenoideawhatthismeansforus!!)

 

[msg]

hahaha Brazil lost! i wanna all south american team to loose.Netherland - spain for the finals ftw.

 

[destiny4ever]

I'm sorry Brazil, I hated Dunga with a passion. I'm so happy that he didn't win. Ronaldinho should've been in the squad; NO MATTER WHAT! Kaka + Ronaldinho. That's all you needed to make things work.

All this time I've been under the impression you didn’t like Brazil (the team) Jin, it’s just now I realize you weren’t a fan of Dunga and therefore you weren’t supporting Brazil. And I guess with this loss, it’s bye-bye Brazil and bye-bye Dunga as well...

 

[After_Image]

Wow, wasn't expecting Brazil to lose. They started off great but after the second goal was made it looked like they somewhat gave up.

 

[Bugzee]

Do you know the name of the declassification of Brazil?
Felipe Melo.

What an idiot.

There was no need for him to stamp on Robben and he already knew what the consequences would be. Oh well. Dunga took far too long to make a change in the second half imo. Sneijder played really well for the Netherlands. The first goal should've been given to him.

Well finally Netherlands got their revenge jajajajajajajaj....!!!!!!!!!!

Now is your turn DIEGO!! Go Argentina!!

That's exactly right, what stupidness. How can you lose your composure in such a big game???

Michel Bastos was lucky to not get sent off in that match. I can't believe their whole game just fell apart like that.
