What?! this aint got nothing to do with the media, its just about finding a solution to stop the cheating.
It works in rugby, it works in tennis, it can work in football.

No it cant. The players are the ones who need to stop cheating, video replays dont stop cheating.
These moments give football its character, and is why its such a popular sport, it brings out emotions.
Look at American Football, its boring because theres no debate about anything anymore. If Henrys handball had been video replayed, it wouldve been forgotten about 5 minutes later!
Same with maradonas hand of god. Thats a legendary moment in football that everyone knows about and talks about. I dont want to lose that.
And how the hell to you implement a video replay? You cant just give teams a certain amount in a game, because if they use all there replays and have a bad decision in the end of the game - they will want to use the replay!!
So once VR comes in it will have to be for everything, every decision, all the time. And not only that EVERY league will have to have VR, all around the world, otherwise you have different sport from 1 country to another.
It will change the game completely fro the one we all already love. Just because the media is so desperate all the time for VR.
yeah i agree with Ghost, ppl still talking about the bad decisions made in the past. it makes certain moments in the game unforgettable.
Ireland played better and got fucked in the ass. Durag, I feel your pain.
And also Han, I was hoping Turkey would march on, but those Bosnian's are tuff. It's a shame how badly they played against Portugal tho...
Slovenia deserved to go through against Russia. Russia's second game was the worst fucking football I've seen this year, two red cards, only one real shot on goal, .... they had it all, and played like shit. Slovenia, my nation, plays probably the best football in our brief history right now [even better than the team with Zahovič that was on Euro2000 and in Korea&Japan 2002]. They could've won at least 5:0 against Russia, but our forwards made some bad decisions....but our keeper, defence [only 4 goals in the Qualifications, plus 2 against Russia], and midfield are playing brilliantly, great attacking football, surely they are playing better than some world class teams right now [*kreh* Inter, L'pool *kreh*]
Watch out for Slovenia, we can surprise on the WC2010.
Maybe if fans catch the incident on their phones. They can text the vid to the stadiums big screen facility and it shows while the ref and the players on the pitch are arguing, and bingo, you have a decision, lol.
Other than that, you can't stop the flow of the game with long stoppages, while they look at instant replays, football is reliant on good flowing play.
Peace be with some of you.
Zahovic LOL, i remember that guy. Skillful player.
I cant believe u knocked them out. Wow. You dont even have any good players.
Does Rene Krhin get a game? Hes the only talented playuer you have i think.
Krhin is lucky to get a game at club level
?
But hes at Inter Milan, of course its hard for him. Slovenia are no where near as good as Inter, so i dont get what your saying?
Would you's like to discuss Major League Soccer in this thread also, or have a separate thread for that?
you might not get much of a response in a separate thread, you might as well put it in here, it's all footie.
If no one cares about it, you will soon find out, lol.
I used to watch MLS quite a few years ago late at night when I didn't have a job. I can't remember some of the players that I liked back then, but there were some good players to watch.
I think there was a decent Mexican player about 5 years ago playing for Chicago Fire?
Is there somewhere where they list really good players who played in the MLS since it first began?
lol I thought the MLS players are supposed to be the best in the world? :)
MLS, lol
CheckTwo that equivelent to an NFL fan watching NFL Europe. (u probably never even heard of NFL Europe lol)
lol Well, actually..

No, they'd soon learn to know which time is worth to ask for a replay, for example if you give each team three replays, they won't use it for every foul, they'll wait for more important stuff.
Thats exaclty what they said before they put it in tennis, that the players would constantly ask every time the ball seemed to be out, now it works perfectly well.
I know football's not the same as tennis, but I can't see no real reason why it wouldn't work.
And no, these types of stuff aint sport. At least Maradonna scored one of the most beautiful goals in history in the same game he scored with his hand, this is just france stealing a place to the world cup, nothing more.
