Association Football is now a laughing stock to the world. It's 2009 and FIFA are not using technology like other sports.
Using video replay are: Tennis, Rugby Union, NBA Basketball, NHL Ice Hockey, MLB Baseball, Rugby League, NFL American Football, Cricket, Rodeo, NASCAR motor racing.
The NFL first started experimenting with instant replay in 1986, 23 years ago. In the world cup final in 1966, it was England 2 Germany 2 after 90 minutes. In extra time Geoff Hurst took a shot at goal and the ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced down, a controversial goal. It's unfathomable that 43 years later, with so many sports having very successful adopted instant replay, that soccer still has this same problem unresolved.
Henry said he told the ref. Let's set some precedent now FIFA for once, like Liam Brady says let's have a replay on French soil. Print this post

Here's hoping that Ireland and France are drawn in the same qualifying group for Euro 2012! 6 points would help soothe the pain.
People have started to forget already, about today's world cup draw, Beckham says "It's great to be seeded and I am surprised that France are not".
