Governance at the World Cup

(Before It's News)

Everyone knows that FIFA is corrupt, but its game rules also need to be reformed if “the beautiful game” is not going to turn into a mish-mash of lawyers, actors and cry-babies.

Robben’s dive at the end of yesterday’s NL-MX match definitely got the Dutch a free penalty kick and maybe won them the game (a 1-1 game would have gone to extra time, etc.)

It was pretty pathetic:

That bad call (Robben claims he was really fouled) gave the Dutch a sour 2-1 win, but that win resulted in record-crazy at Museumplein (central Amsterdam):

It would have been sweeter is the Dutch had won fair and square.

Bottom Line: FIFA should require video-confirmation of controversial calls that result in penalty shots.
