Soccer is a beautiful game and can be played in all fairness; it is a very intelligent one too - no disrespect to other games. There is a lot of pressure on players to perform on the field and therefore loose composure and demean themselves, at times, to gain unfair advantage. The Netherlands - Mexico match was an example as to why technology can help weed out such elements and bring them to book. Players being aware that any 'misdemeanor' on the field will be caught and punished, with use of technology, are less likely enact such drama. FIFA used technology to ban Suarez for 4 months after the match, if he was meted out a red card during the game, it was likely that Italy would have gone through to the last 8. Mexico were a better side too - lost to the Dutch who don't deserve to be in the quarters. The dutch have the dubious distinction of cheating their way into the last 8 of this WC. If this keeps happening the viewership will suffer which works against the goodwill of the game. FIFA bring in more technology, you've done well with goal line tech; stop debating on leaving an element of excitement and intrigue in the game by referee's decision alone.
its very common in football and basetball to push/misbehave with others. so play cricket every fielder is expected to respect umpire's decision and equal oppurtunity to challenge umpire's decision. any disrepect to other players will attract severe penalty as well.

Lazy game.... better play computer games... no disrespect for anybody, only you and your computer
mexico had played well compair to netherlands, FIFA should should not depend on ampair, since millions of dollers are spend for this game, but due to ampairs decission the entire game becomes upside down, so FIFA should check the moment in the name of third ampair and give the correct result.
we have seen some very poor refereeing in this world cup. in this age of technology these glaring mistakes hurt. Wisdom and purpose of sports get defeated. we can always take help of unbiased technology to sort things out at world cup level where so much is at stake.
Yes, of course… without a doubt. In fact, punishment should be more severe than what Suarez was meted out. All said and done, Suarez did not affect the result of the game. He did not cheat. Robben did. What's more, he is a habitual offender. Video evidence should be used to retrospectively punish even if the referee missed it.
Re: like Suarez Arjen Robben should be banned

HE IS A GENIOUS. ALMOST ALL INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS ACT AS FOULED. IT IS THE MINDSTUFF OF ALL PLAYERS TO BE CHANGED. VICTORY IS GOOD BUT IT IS EXCELLENT WHEN THE PLAY IS NEAT
