Time to put on my orange shirt and go home early from work :)

I have no idea what the match against Slovakia will be, could be 4-0 to Holland but could just as well be 1-1 :confused:

This doesn't apply anymore then? there is supporting a team and blatant trolling, and certain people in here are doing nothing but trolling.

Yep, it applies, apologies for not being on here during the game as I thought it might be better to watch it down the pub.
 
Brazil vs Chile promises to be fantastic, can't wait. :)

Then again, maybe Brazil will just shut them right out, and it won't be. But I really fancy Chile to take it to them.

Gerrard has said he would like, or is happy, for unfabulous capello to remain.
Capello signed a 2 year extension with no opt out clause. So he gets another £12 million. Lol, what a farce. All that money for what will amount to absolutely nothing.
Even if what capello is doing with the england team are all the right things to get england to win, it's all academic because those players can barely pass the ball accurately and they're too slow.

£12m?

Lol as is already worked out by most domestic fans the money is better spent on creating a better setup, and more coaches. But then I suppose it's easier to lump it at the one (wrong) target.

Is there any chance FIFA could ban replays on TV... in your home? I mean, can they instruct the broadcasters not to show replays or they won't be allowed in?

Probably a stupid question I know :p

Even before Lampard's goal had been replayed I was 100% certain that it had gone in.

But it's not only England who have had poor referreeing decisions (Ireland Henry anyone) against them.

I hope it changes and that at least they stick someone behind the goal or in major finals à la world cup that the goal cameras can be used.

I would hate to see them being over used (ie to decide corners and throwins but for goals it should/must be brought in)

bring in a cricket style system - you get a maximum number of appeals - say 2 per game.

Have the replay technology used for all goals (would only have been needed for two out of the 5 goals in the england game) and for 2 appeals at the choice of the manager.

You couldn't just have two appeals a game.

Just for goals? What about fouls that lead to goals that weren't fouls? or that dubious throw in that lead to the foul.

It's up to the manager to use the challenges wisely, the trouble with having too many challenges is they'll appeal practically every decision and it'll become a farse.

We just need a way to allow teams to rectify the big mistakes, such as the Lampard's goal that never was and Tevez' offside goal, the USA also had perfectly good goals struck off.

It works pretty well in other sports don't see why football would be any different.

In tennis you get 3 appeals per set, 1 more for a tie-break and 3 more for every 12 games played in the final set.

The line technology would work well for things like goals and throw ins, and possibly even disputes over whether a foul occurred in or out of the penalty box, but it would have to be full replays for fouls, handballs, etc.

I wonder how the line technology would cope with things being thrown onto the pitch? You don't have that problem at the tennis, but football fans are a rowdy lot...

put a sensor(s) inside or on the ball and place some sensors around the goalposts

you know like if you were shoplifting from a shop, if you go through the barrier it goes off
