Soccer, almost more than any other team sport, can be decided by one bad call such as a penalty, an unfair expulsion, or an offsides called or not called. My dad always complains that American sports have to many stoppages for timeouts and commercial breaks, but he even agrees that soccer should adapt to the technology of today.

 

Barcelona almost won A Liga thanks to a goal Messi clearly scored with his hand, Chelsea didn't go to a Champions League final because the ref didn't call at least two penalties. Ireland won't be in the World Cup because Henry decides to pass the ball with his hand. One bad call can mean the game.

 

I say it should only be used for doubtful penalties, handballs in the penalty box, and offsides. People may complain that it takes to much time but it takes two minutes until the players stop arguing after a controversial call. Something needs to be done because refs are absolutely horrible these days.

I at least want to see FIFA get rid of the bad refs. No reason the Chelsea vs. Barcelona ref from last year should be back. He was the ref for the Bayer Munich vs. Fiorentina game and Fiorentina got robbed.
