England has a long memory

[Churchill]

Following our disallowed goal earlier I can understand them not wanting to use playback/camera data in refereeing, BUT what about the idea of microchipping the ball to give off a signal when it's over the line? I'm surprised that was rejected in trials and would love to know why. What does everyone else think?

The Referee making mistakes is all part of the "magic" of the game.

The goal wasn't disallowed, it just wasn't bloody seen!

Microchip in the ball?

Makes a change from missed penalties, fans rioting, and whole industries growing up around the assassination of various inept/corrupt officials though.

Give it chance - there is still time

This world cup will be remembered for :

Idiotic team selection
Farcical tactical decisions
Barmy lineups
Guttless displays of ineptitude
Failing to sing the anthem
Shambolic play
Being an international disgrace

and scooterscot being an absolute bell-end
