Being screwed occasionally is only part of the game because it's tolerated. But it doesn't have to be and the alternative is not as awkward as it's made out to be.
The history argument is bunk. Those games are over, those teams got jewed. It sucks, let's move on, but don't let it happen again. The point of technology in football is not to redo history, it is to improve future games.
Had the commentators used technology to count the viewers instead of human guesswork they probably would've got it right. Because technology is superior!
If the referee fucks up the game is adversely affected by a character who is not supposed to have an impact on the result of the game other than to maintain fairness, and this should be rectified whenever possible. If a player fucks up that is a representation of the quality of the team as he is a part of it, and since the idea of the game is that the better team wins that fuck up is integral to the game. So huge mistakes are not on an even keel, and likening refereeing mistakes to player mistakes is not logical.
France are spoiling the World Cup, any other team which cheated to get to the World Cup is spoiling it, any team which cheats in the World Cup is spoiling it. If England were in Ireland's place I would laugh a lot ... then come on here and say everything I've said in the last three posts. And you know that means a lot coming from your typical ginger, drunken Scot.

Thanks for letting me know less than a billion watched the final though, I was misled by the commentary stating "more than a billion people will be watching today's final" or words to that effect.
