They need to add reviews on scoring plays. Bosnia scored one of the most beautiful goals of the tournament so far, yet they were denied by a blatantly incorrect call from the line judge.
They are now out of the tournament for one person's mistake.
There is no accountability in association football. It's okay to make mistakes, but the team must have an opportunity to challenge a call.
American/Canadian football gets a bad rap, but in this respect they get it right. It is understood that people make mistakes, but each team has multiple opportunities to challenge a ruling.
Rugby is even more thorough. You get to hear the discussion between the refs, and the players, and the extra officiating crew that reviews the plays. It is 100% transparent and fair.
Completely right. Football has an archaic way of ad hoc arbitrage and it seems it's getting worse not better.
There are several sports that have more advanced ways of dealing with arbitrage bias. Hockey is another one.
It is due to FIFA that is in effect a pyramid of corruption that progress is only going slowly.
Then we are just talking about referee bias. Don't even think of organizing a World Cup in countries like Qatar where they have introduced slave labor to build the stadiums and facilities. FIFA seems to be operating outside the law and outside human decency.
