goal line tech should have been deployed eons ago but we've always been at the mercy of the slowpokes called fifa. soccer is still behind other competitive sports in many respects:

1. i've been saying this for years but no one will listen. red cards should be reviewed. why punish a whole team for one players transgressions? refs have too much power in this regard and have ruined too many would have been classic games for soccer neutrals who hold no affinity towards any team and simply want sheer entertainment: case in point jans lehmans redcard in the 06 uefa arsenal barca final. That game would have been epic! my suggestion would be to evict the defaulting player, punish him accordingly, and replace with a player on the bench so that the game can continue 11 vs 11. This is done in bball whenever a player is hit with a a double technical or a flagrant foul.

2. Delay tactics can be a foregone conclusion if fifa remove continuous play ( when time continues to count even when there's a major stoppage in play as seen in injuries etc) and replacing it with stop-clock timing( timing stops when play stops) . This would disincentevize players from going down unnecessarily to waste time

3. penalties should be awarded only when a player is hacked down in a one on one situation with the keeper. all those other peripheral incidents incide the box ( hand balls, trips due to physical contact) should be awarded as indirect freekicks.

4. In a contentious decision, the ref should have access to a camera to review the play to equip him with the power to make a fair and unbiased decision. It's very unfair when we blame refs who have to make those split second decisions without the vantage view of replays. eh, this is employed in the NFL.

Soccer is now a high stakes game and the whole point is making the outcome of soccer match as fair as possible. Goal line technology and some of the recomendationss i've made, to my mind, go a long way towards accomplishing that.

optimist D: Hm.they play better than us.

i'll wait till after 180 mins. when lightweight or average teams play, home advantage is usually crucial.

@ prof.femi u keep emphasizing that tertiary education is so important. but i respectfully disagree and assert that within the nigerian context, primary and secondary education should be the priority not tertiary education. we are not an industrialized nation yet! In germany, america and many other industrialized societies, tertiary education flourished in the 18th and 19th century because industrialization created the need for a steady stream of trained employees and research institutions also developed to further the research required by industry/society. What we need is to ramp up the investments at the primary and secondary level in order to have majority of our citizens attain basic quantitative and literacy skills; vocational and technical institutions should be encouraged but they should spring out to serve the needs of industry and not vice versa. we have all these tertiary institutions that end up churning out graduates into an already saturated job market because our institutions are currently serving a non-existent need. All the money in the world dished out to ASUU will not solve the larger problem of job scarcity and lack of industrialization.

few reasons why Nigeria must not go to the world cup.

- The world cup is over rated, even if we won, it won't bring about national unity. Nigeria will stil be divided along religious and tribal lines
- It is an expensive venture for very poor countries. We should focus on more pressing concerns.
- It's a potent vent through which corruption thrives ( NFF is one of the most corrupt institutions in the land, pray tell, what do we need 263
delegates in ethiopia for?)
- The world cup and sports in general have never brought development to any country. Rather, development and industrialization makes it possible for people to luxuriate in other endeavours like literature, the arts, painting, and sports etc.
