Should the instant replay used in the NFL be applied to others sport. One sport in particular that need this technology is Football (soccer). Allowing instant replay in soccer it would help a lot two biggest reason why are; help referee make betters decision and second but not least the camera behind the goalkeeper net should be allow in that way invisible goals(goals that pass the net but exit) should be allow. In United State sport like Baseball, Basketball and even NFL (American football) used this technology and been successfully accepted general the fans have welcomed it because they know the importance of a good call that can not only help the referee make a good judgment but also help the team. Soccer is been around is been more than 60 years technology is been the last thing of FIFA (Federation International do Football Association) but as the world advance and game became more tactic, more physical, players make more contacts with each others, and referee are only human and sometimes based on the heat of the game making decision is hard, for that reason if instant replay are allow in important match (like World Cup every 4 years) teams don’t get disqualified based on wrong judgment. A good example is; during the South Africa World Cup 2010, to be more specific England lost 4-1 against Germany, Frank Lampard’s shot clearly bounced the Germany’s goalkeeper Nuer before bouncing back into play, and the referee disallowed a legal goal. Later on different match on the same World Cup a game took place between Argentina beat Mexico 3-1, its first goal came from a player many yards offside. There is a need for a goal line technology in soccer; numerous of example came to my mind, especially when you see all the TV replay and show ... ... middle of paper ... ...ecause of the recent string of controversial call that has impacted global competitions. But also I’m definitely conflicted on the issue. What is the difference between a referee missing a ball crossing the goal line and a referee missing an offside call to allow or disallow a goal? Getting into slippery slope arguments here, but I think if you’re going to allow one form of replay review in soccer you have to open yourself up to all of the other series of events that hinge on moments of subjective judgment. One of the things I love about soccer is the human element- even the fact that referees can make a call that blows a game. In a sport that relies on it’s free-flowing and organic nature, allowing stoppages of play would damage one of the essential tenets of soccer. Whether or not that is worth the potential of a missing goal or two is up to your interpretation.
As Jerome Bettis walks toward the center of the field on Thanksgiving Day of 1998, he has no idea what is about to happen. This event will be the subject of controversy for days to follow. Bettis and his Pittsburgh Steelers have just finished regulation play against the Detroit Lions and are ready for the coin toss, which will precede the overtime period. Referee Phil Luckett tosses the coin up in the air as Bettis calls "Tails." The coin lands with tails up. The referee then tells the Lions' captains that they have won the toss and asks them what they elect to do. In total amazement, Bettis insists that he said, "Tails," and his Steelers won the toss! But Referee Phil Luckett disagrees with Bettis and allows the Lions to start out overtime with the ball. Detroit goes on to win the controversial overtime period. If instant replay had been implemented at this time, it would have shown that Bettis did indeed call "Tails," which would most likely have changed the outcome of the game. Instant replay should be permanently implemented into the National Football League (NFL).
American football in the past several years have really developed, not only from the fans perspective but also from the players and the official heads. Safety is the most important topic talked about in all sports but it is a must in football, especially because of the way the game is played with all of the tackles and hits. It is really important not only for the players to be safe but also the officials to keep it safe. Both players and officials play a key role in making the game of football safe and interesting to watch for the fans and a great experience for the players as well. As said in the Denver Post, players are expected to play with the rules…coaches are expected to teach…and game officials to emphasize the rules. The game of football, in the NFL, is safer than it has ever been because of the rules, penalties and the equipment.
First the rule in the NFL was that the play would be an automatic penalty, would result in player fine, and an additional fifteen yards would be added from where the foul was committed. The play is reviewable; however, if the call on the field does not stand the player is not fined, but it is still a fifteen yard penalty. A lot of coaches and other National Football League associates disagreed with that section of the rule and after debates and discussions the rule was changed. As of the season, if the play is reviewed and there is not an actual penalty then
Soccer is a global contemporary cultural phenomenon that originated in England in the 19th century (Dubois). After its discovery, soccer had no rules on how the game should be played. Indefinite amount of people were allowed to play the game. They can tackle each other as they wanted to and picked up the ball and run when the players wanted to. However, in 1863 “the Cambridge rule” emerged. One of the fundamental rules was to use feet rather than hand with the exception of the goal-keeper. Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay were the next countries that accepted and embraced the game of soccer (Dubois). The game was first played by English merchant communities and transferred to local groups formed by ordinary people in the community.
This product (the smart ball) will be entering the sporting business and will advance how the game is played and change those teeth gritting moments into the moments were it all comes down to the analysis of the machine and the referee.
Soccer has been known for many decades as “the beautiful game.” It has carried respect and happiness to millions around the world. However, the respect for the game falls apart when the fans and players use racism. Soccer went from being the beautiful game to being the judgmental game because of the fans. In some cultures, soccer is their way of life, and some are more passionate about soccer than others. The fans during the soccer games racially abuse the soccer players because of their ethnicity and skin color. Racism in soccer has been going on around the world for a while now, but hasn’t been addressed until the players or organizations stand up for themselves. The two editorials that talk about racism in soccer are “Racism on the Soccer Field Must End Before it Kills The Sport” by Andre Akpan, and “Beautiful Game of Soccer made Ugly by Racism at World Cup” by Aram Ghoogasian. Presently, racism from fans has increased over the past years, which have impacted the player’s
In the 19th century, soccer started to come to life in America. Some colleges started to play the game in the 1820s, with the first contest taking place at Harvard in 1827. Then, a huge invention took place in 1855. That year, the Charles Goodyear soccer ball was invented. Charles Goodyear created these soccer balls with vulcanized rubber. 12 years later in 1867, soccer took two huge steps. The first standardized soccer rules were published that year. Now, graduates from different schools could play together and had proper rules to follow when playing a game. But later that year, another just as, if not mor...
This problem is pretty bad and is becoming worse in some areas. The problem can take both physical and emotional tolls on these refs. This problem can be observed in about all of the sports out there. Referees are abused in many ways, things are thrown at them, they are called terrible names, and are even sometimes punched and kicked. Many referees are quitting because of this abuse.

Officiating a game in the English Premier League (EPL) is a hard job for any referees. Indeed, it is harder when it comes to be the biggest derby in London and also between the first place of the league, Chelsea, and the second place, Arsenal. It is known for the EPL to be one of the aggressive and rougher soccer leagues over the world, because of the intense competition between teams. The match ends up with scoreless draw. However, there were controversy cases that the head referee, Michael Oliver, and his assistance referee left for the people to discus about.
Culturally, soccer has changed drastically over the last decade or so. Although, many around the globe have been playing for years, just recently has each country come together. Initially,
In conclusion, football and soccer have their similarities, but these similarities are superficial. There are many fundamental differences, such as the use of one’s hands being illegal in soccer, except for the goalie when he/she is inside his/her respective eighteen-yard boundary. Another example is the alternation of a team’s offense and defense in football as opposed to the simultaneous effort of the offense and defense in soccer. These differences in rules, rituals, and concepts distinguish these two sports from each other. However, there are similarities, such as the fact that both sports allow eleven players on each team to play on the field at a time. Also, the area where one scores is in the same locations in both sports, the end zones of football and the goals of soccer are on opposite sides of the field.

The federation international de football association (FIFA) the game we all know has evolved so much over the years (Applegate). FIFA had become a member of the international football association board in 1913 and over more than 240 million people around the globe regularly play soccer everyday (Fields 20). England was the first to put actually rules into the sport which was no tripping the opponent on purpose and no hand may touch the ball as the time progressed the more rules were created and historical milestones was set (Applegate). Red and yellow cards were created during the 1970 world cup finals, goalkeepers (Keeps) was banned from handling deliberant back passes in 1992, tackles (Slide Tackles) from behind becoming red carded penalties in 1998 (Applegate). In 1982 West Germany and France played where West Germany won on penalties kicks which was the first time in world cup history it had ever happened and before that in 1953 a match between England and Hungary where England lost for the first time in history at their home field (Applegate). Arguably the greatest soccer player to ever play the game goes by the name Pele (Edson aranthas Do nascimenta) from Brazil who scored six goals in 1958 to help Brazil win its first world cup in the history of the world cup and he scored six goals on his own that’s two hat tricks which is insane (Applegate).
