btw. bitching and losing the last nerves because of the referees is about as old as football (soccer). And is a part of this sport!

Thanks for making my point for me! ;0)

Letting the refs decide the outcome of the game kills it. They are far more influential to the result than any American sport. They either need better refs with more accountability, more refs/linesmen to make better offsides calls, or use technology.

Resisting those improvements will make the soccer powers-that-be seem like the baseball dinosaurs here who carp about "tradition."

And bad calls in baseball rarely decide the entire outcome of the game.

No i have to disagree.
The last thing i would want for soccer would be
something like to use video to make referee calls.
This would kill this sport! Soccer is a fast game (ok many people in the US might dissagree but anyway). There is NO NEED to stop the game every 2 minutes to watch a stupid Video. And i´m pretty shure most soccer fans around the world do agree with me on this.
Don´t fix whats not broken.
Millions of people around this world love the sport exactly how it is right now. So no need to change this.
