I think that refeere is done with refereeing in this World Cup. FIFA learned
their lesson about this guy.

I mean you people talk about technology as if the goal was few mm in. It was
almost half a meter in. you don't need technology or replays for this.
The referee was blind and it's his fault.

First you said "even English players [...] weren't sure it was a goal",
then you said "It was almost half a meter in. you don't need technology
or replays for this. The referee was blind and it's his fault". Surely
both can't be true! Anyway a video replay would be a good protection
against bad refereeing, blind or not, mm or meters.

I don't know what's causing this confusion in your head?

The goal itself, even though clearly in, wasn't that obvious, otherwise more
players would have protested, more decisevely.

Given the fact it was an obvious goal, referee made a terrible mistake, ie,
he was blind. But it's his job to see it, not the players'.

First you said "The goal itself [...] wasn't that obvious", then you
said "it was an obvious goal". I'm afraid the confusion wasn't in my
head! :)

Anyway, the fact that the referee wasn't doing his job is a strong
argument for technological help. If all referees were doing their job
well then there's hardly a need for technology.
