…at the World Cup. Fortunately the better teams won but big mistakes by the referees robbed the underdogs the chances for surprises.
Just before the games Finnish tv showed a documentary Kill the Referee about Euro 2008 referees by Yves Hinant and Jean Libon. The Italian ref of the Argentina-Mexico game was one of the persons that they followed. I really should have watched that…
Unfortunately the use of video technology won’t guarantee correct decisions either. A few years ago a Swedish video referee accepted Finland’s goal against USA in ice hockey’s world championships although the puck went in from the wrong side of the post probably through a hole in the net.
