Stupid BLIND ref!

It should have been counted.

thank you.

I would be saying the same if it had been your goal.

The simple fact of the matter was that, by the rules, it was in. Another argument in favor of goal-side cameras. It might have changed

the game entirely.

Why isn't there one of us representing FIFA?

Because their responsibilities would only come up every few years, and they would likely be killed after every World Cup.

stress relief.

Not for FIFA.

that's the point.

...hm.

Ah... I swear I never wanted those rules in place.

Which rules?

About referees calling the shots. The ball was clearly in but there's nothing we can do.

Indeed not. For now. But this will be a good rallying point for the next time the issue can be debated. The excuses are pathetic.
