How well can you fake it?

Posted on Monday 10 July 2006

The World Cup for football is over. I watached the final at my friend’s place. It was a good game, and fun watching the game with friends rather than being by myself and watched it at home. I found the fun thing about football is the injuries. I don’t know how bad the players got hurt really, but no matter how lightly and badly the injuries, they all love to roll around on the floor. The medical team would come, checked them out, spread something, gave them some water, and the player would be all fine jumping up and down ready to get back to the game. Of course, they did it trying to gain something - a penalty shot, which maybe the point they need to win.

Referee will be the judge for their performance if they will be granted for their Oscar with a penalty shot. With the technology and number of cameras on the field, there are many replays in different angles and slow motion for us, the viewers, to judge the acting and the real injuries. Unfortunately or fortunately, the referee has the utlimate power to make that call depending what him and other assitant referees saw in the field. If they are convinced, and that’s good enough. It doesn’t matter what we think and what is recorded in the cameras. Football has the violent ingredients like some other sports with less blood, and more for the viewers to debate what went wrong and if it is a right call during some dull moments. I can’t be the only one thinking about it, if some one made a viedo to mock the players ;)
