Professional Wrestling Officiating

The officiating at the World Cup has descended into farce with game outcomes on the world's central stage being influenced by corrupt or utterly incompetent referees. With technology readily available and being employed by many other sports, it is long past time that FIFA adopts some form of replay to prevent travesties. When football (soccer) calls move beyond human fallibility and become mockery or raise questions whether the match has been bought (how could such blatant errors be made without a question of match fixing?), time has come to institute reform. Instant replay has been around for decades. Let easily correctable mistakes be addressed in a timely manner so that fans need never question victories on the pitch.
