I can see it.

Player A makes contact with Player B. Player B acts like he has been
shot, and Player A gets his second yellow and is sent off the pitch.

On video re-play after the game, Player B was found guilty of diving,
and is suspended for one game.

So, Team A got knocked out of the tournament (partly due) to a call
that everyone including FIFA says was wrong.

Just like ENG - ARG /Beckham - Simone

"and anything that happened afterwards... has not happened" what like
a bone-crunching tackle from Terry to stop a certain goal from Klose
on the counter?

What you don't appear to realise is that that is not what happened.

What happened is that England were denied a quite perfectly valid
goal, as were Mexico awarded one against them.

You're worried that one of the teams that profited from these errors
might themselves have been disadvantaged?

If you're happy to accept disadvantage to a team, I don't see what
your problem is?

Further, I've seen you complain here in some instances about diving in
the area and winning flakey penalties.

Having a goal-line official might go some way to arresting that trend.

I'm too busy to check the ice hockey rules right not, but from the top of my
mind the "and anything that happened afterwards... has not happened"
situation does not apply to (disciplinary) penalties.

In the hypothetical situation you describe, Germany would not be warranted a
free kick (as they would have to resume the match from center field after
the goal), but Terry should get a card from the bone-crunching tackle -
which is only showed after the first whistle anyway, when the match is
already stopped.

Compare that with a cardable foul commited when the ball is out of play. The
referre cannot call the foul per se, but he still must punish the offending
with a card. It's basically the same thing, except that in the rewind
situation some action is considered to be "out of play" retroactively.
