Even retrospective stuff like did he dive didn't he is a waste of time cos if he did and the ref waves a yellow (or worse still a red) then the players will get in his face and the game grinds to a halt, and if he didn't dive what then? Stop the game go back? ... Nah, no way. Maybe the divers get a retrospective card AFTER the game perhaps, but even that is destroying the whole established idea of what a soccer match is about... two teams having a go on the day and being monitored (more or less) by a ref and a couple of linesmen. Leave well alone say I.
You lost the argument by calling football, soccer.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
