Dinosaurs of the century - FIFA

I cannot understand why FIFA is probably the only sports body that has not embraced electronics/video replays/3rd referee. I mean look at all the time wasted when players surround refs on controversial decisions. With video a decision can be made in seconds. Do it like tennis, where you limit the challenges a player can make, or in this case, the captain. I really don't buy the argument that they want fans to talk about the controversies and that it's"part of the game". I mean pity the poor bastard and fans who maybe had one chance for a trophy his whole life and it was blown by a dodgy call. Sepp Blatter is an idiot.

Anyway did anyone see Ngog's Greg Louganis impersonation against Birmingham? FIFA (again, idiots) should really act on diving. It's cheating, pure and simple. What are they teaching kids? It's ok to cheat? Then by all means forget drug testing. That's also cheating.
