FIFI Needs to Use Instant Replays

Take the poll below:

Should FIFA allow Instant Replay?

 Major blunders by referees have knocked countries out the 2014 World Cup

How absurd is that???.

POLL

Should there be instant replay in soccer?
• Yes, on all questionable calls
• Yes, but only on goal decisions
• No

The entire world watched as the “human factor” cost a major European nation a chance in the round of 16 and sent them home. A penalty shot was awarded The only two people in the world who didn’t know were the referee and his assistant in that half of the field.

There have been more than one major blunder in this year's World Cup.

Give a manager two challenges per game. Takes 2 minutes to review a call. 

Get with it FIFA!

People look forward to the games every four years. It's sad, that after all the effort and money to make it to the World Cup, a human error, which can be quickly and easily corrected, causes a team a chance to advance.

I must admit I enjoy watching instant replays of challenged calls in sports like tennis, baseball, hockey and football.

We Are The One Lyrics

Put your flags up in the sky (put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you're from
(show them where you're from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola

When the going gets tough
the tough get going
One love, one life, one world
One fight, whole world, one night, one place
Brazil, everybody put your flags
in the sky and do what you feel

It's your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play
It's your world, my world, our world today
And we invite the whole world, whole world to play

Es mi mundo, tu mundo, el mundo de nosotros
Invitamos a todo el mundo a jugar con nosotros

Put your flags up in the sky
(Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you're from
(show them where you're from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola

One night watch the world unite
Two sides, one fight and a million eyes
Full heart's gonna work so hard
Shoot, fall, the stars
Fists raised up towards the sky
Tonight watch the world unite, world unite, world unite
For the fight, fight, fight, one night
Watch the world unite
Two sides, one fight and a million eyes

Hey, hey, hey, forza forza come and sing with me
Hey, hey, hey, ole ola come shout it out with me
Hey, hey, hey, come on now
Hey, hey, hey, come on now
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Put your flags up in the sky
(Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you're from
(show them where you're from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola

Claudia Leitte, obrigado

É meu, é seu
Hoje é tudo nosso
Quando chega o mundo inteiro pra jogar é pra mostrar que eu posso
Torcer, chorar, sorrir, gritar
Não importar o resultado, vamos extravasar

Put your flags up in the sky
(Put them in the sky)
And wave them side to side (side to side)
Show the world where you're from
(show them where you're from)
Show the world we are one (one love, life)

Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola
Ole ole ole ola

A national anthem (also national hymn, national song etc.) is a generally patriotic musical composition that evokes and eulogizes the history, traditions and struggles of its people, recognized either by a nation’s government as the official national song, or by convention through use by the people. The majority of national anthems are either marches or hymns in style. The countries of Latin America tend towards more operatic pieces, while a handful of countries use a simple fanfare. ~ wikipedia

A national flag is a flag that symbolizes a country. The flag is flown by the government, but usually can also be flown by citizens of the country.

Both public and private buildings such as schools and courthouses may fly the national flag. In some countries, the national flags are only flown from non-military buildings on certain flag days. There are three distinct types of national flag for use on land, and three for use at sea, though many countries use identical designs for several (and sometimes all) of these types of flag. wikipedia

Pele and 2014 World Cup Preparations

Pele is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. During his career, he became known as "The King of Football" (O Rei do Futebol), "The King Pelé" (O Rei Pelé) or simply "The King" (O Rei)..

“It is okay,” Pele said. “We have had a little problem there and everybody knows that. I worried a little bit because we worked for years to have the Olympics and the World Cup.

But he said: “I have no doubt it will be the best World Cup.”

2014 World Cup Soccer -Preparations

BRAZIL WORLD CUP COSTS

• Total $13bn
• Transport: $6.4bn
• Stadiums $3.2bn
• Airports: $3bn
• Ports: $414m

In Brazil most people believe that the county will be able to organise the World Cup but there are concerns about how well the money will be used.

"We always hear so much about corruption in politics, in Brazilian football. And there is so much money involved in a World Cup that it will tempt many people," says student Daniela Mendes.

"But if South Africa managed to do it, why wouldn't we?"

Concerns:

"I am not so worried about the arenas because you can build a stadium in 30 months after you have an engineering project ready, and we have 47 months to the World Cup," says Jose Roberto Bernasconi, president of the National Association of Engineering and Architecture Companies.

"But airports are a more complicated matter and I think that is our main problem nowadays," he said.
