The offsides rule should be changed - it should be like hockey.....

i.e., using a set line on the field (like the blue line on the ice). Once the ball passes it, it's a free for all.
Having two moving points of reference, the guy kicking the ball and where the offensive players are in relation to the defensive is practically impossible for one person to get right. And since offsides can happen anywhere on the field, such rulings routinely cancel out scoring shots. That's unacceptable and is one of the reasons why soccer blows.
Also, the penalty shot should be moved back so it is a 50-50 proposition. Once again, this would reduce the impact of a ref calling a penalty in the box.

I think there should be retribution for the atrocious World Cup refereeing

There are many red + yellow card decisions that are still unclear after checking TV footage, though

Should only be done for goals. The game already stops for goals, so it wouldnt ruin the flow *NM*

Indeed. Germany played better overall, but were definitely on the back foot end of the first half. *NM*

Technology? Bah. Platini's experiment would work well.

Apparently there's already very good tech that knows whether a ball is over the line.

If we are going to engage in the game of "may", then we should be fair . . .
