I am not a big soccer fan, and one of the reasons is that the refereeing, to put it mildly, sucks. Recently the French team qualified for the World Cup only because one of their players blatantly cheated by redirecting the ball with his hand, after which his teammate scored a goal. This was all televised for everyone to see. Did the referee allow the goal? Yes! Against all decency and common sense.

Football is like any other popular sport.  Fixed, rigged, call it what you want, the fact is there is far too much money involved in the game for it to be clean.  Money = Corruption + Slavery.  It's the end result every single time. 

I'll never go to another football match.  I have never and will never pay to watch it on TV either. 

Decisions like the thing with Henry are rife in football, they refuse to embrace technology and they do so for a reason.  Without the tech they create a nice loophole through which they can just pass off incidents like that as the ref's mistake.

There are hundreds of cameras registering the game from various angles, why can't the referee have an option to replay an action on a handheld device? This is the 21st century, wake up FIFA!

Take look at NFL, challenges, 20 officials, 50 cameras...

That is why I only watch NFL, soccer?? LOL!

With the arrest warrants for FIFA officials issued, it looks like finally things are beginning to change.

I doubt it, somebody will just take their place and continue with the corruption.
