That would have avoided Brazilian move-maker Kaka from being unfairly sent off last night after he powered his team to a large victory against teammates of history-making Drogba. Tennis and rugby use it already and so does the IAAF.
What do you think?

FIFA is adamantly against the use of video replay in assisting refereeing on one simple principle: an official football match should be playable anywhere in the world with the same means: broadly speaking a standard ball, a standard pitch, goals and markings of fixed dimensions, four officials and that's about it. Some proponents of video assistance have put forward that high-speed action at high-level competitions can no longer rely on human senses for proper screening. By saying so, this would imply that there exists a hierarchy of competitions, which clearly FIFA does not want to hear about...
Principles evolve through time: video challenges did not always exist at tennis matches. And isn't there some kind of complaint mechanism available? If there is then I suspect FIFA will review the tapes at some point in time. So, what difference does it make if there was a process to do it on the spot?
It all depends on the Football Association. This is the slowest moving sporting association in the world...
Nicely summarised: the 'parti-pris' for a glamorous, but bad team...
Vikash Dhorasoo dit que Le foot est un sport injuste et c’est tant mieux
Il me prend à contre-pied!
In fact, human error is always possible, but now that England has monopolised attention over being unfairly denied an otherwise valid goal (forget that Tevez's goal was blatantly offside, that the ball was played by Tim Cahill's hand against Serbia, Kuzmanovic playing volleyball against Ghana, Harry Kewell's hand against the same Ghana, Khumalo's playing with both "shoulders" before scoring against France etc...)
England tasting its own medicine of being disallowed a goal by the referees' temporary blindness has opened the floodgates releasing calls for video-aided refereeing: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
But as expected, FIFA shed a (crocodile's?) tear FIFA will not budge despite everyone (even top referees)saying a BIG 'yes'to technology-aided refereeing...
Un meilleur éclairage sur le sujet que le mien...
Une diapo des plus grandes erreurs d'arbitragede football... Celles ayant favorisé la Corée du Sud et le Koweit sont vraiment les plus dures à avaler...
Two cases again:
1- Luis Suarez's volleying Adiyiah's header off the line at the last minute of the additional time should have been dealt with by awarding Ghana the goal. Fucile (on the right side of Suarez) should have been red carded too for anti-fair-play in showing intent to play handball. This no-one seems to have seen it...
2 - Van Bommel's vicious charge on Iniesta (22'), De Jong's kick in Alonso's thorax (28') and Sneijder's tackle from behind (43') should have been dealt with red cards and given Spain its World Cup by default (yes, once you have three players red carded, the rules don't allow your team to pursue the game with 8 players against 11 and the game is interrupted with 3-0 victory awarded to the leading team) without any dispute. Strangely enough, Netherlands are now angry at referee Webb's refereeing for having been too lenient on Puyol's tackle on Robben (82')
But then, péssé paye lors la-terre mem ça...
