Exactly — they fling themselves on the ground and I think “What a drama queen” mostly but the other day it replayed and the guy actually did get jacked in the face pretty hard.
(I am petty and small also. Drama queens.)
Fouling in soccer isn’t like basketball where you can hear the “slap” happen on the fouls. I’d like to see the instant replay integrated into soccer matches.
There is no need for replays. Its a human game, and the calls stand….good or bad.
I might agree if there hadn’t been about 1 horrible, game-altering bad call per game. At the very least, put more officials on the field. Apparently there aren’t enough eyeballs out there.
Why should bad calls stand? It makes no sense in baseball and it made no sense in this tournament. it cheapens the wins of people who remain, in my opinion. That disallowed U.S. goal was nonsense. NONSENSE. One wrong person should not determine the outcome of a high-stakes international contest. Just horrible.
