soccer has embraced technology in almost every way possible. we have balls that change all the time that refuse to fly straight, shoes designed to put maximum spin on balls, jerseys that are now body suites. magic spray that cures anything from a little bump to AIDS. Clubs tearing down their classic stadiums to build big massive modern monstrosities with all the fancy technological bells and whistles. our broadcasts have mikes down on the pitch so we can hear everything, and 1,000 HD cameras so we can catch every slice a grass that flies into the air.
technology is everywhere in soccer, except for when it could help the officials
the officials are there to make sure teams play by the rules and its all fair and on the level. we have the technology to help that aspect of the game. my god, use it
with all the eyes of the world watching and being able to see every missed call, its only a matter of time before disgruntled fans take out their frustrations on a ref that costs their team a huge match
