soccer has some strange ways to decide keys plays in the games.

the PK the other day where the defender was kicking the ball and the offensive dude sticks his foot in front of the ball at the last 2nd and he kicks it becomes a PK.. the exact same play at the other end of the field would have been a PK the other way. thats a tough rule.

really though at the these high levels will so much money around they cant afford  a ref for each half of the field or a couple more side judges so things dont get missed so often trying to keep up with plays 100 yds at a time..

look at other sports as the play gets faster at higher levels they add more refs.  baseball starts with 1 goes to 2 in HS to 4 at most levels and  then to 6 in the playoffs.   Basketball goes from 1 to 2 at many levels to 3. football does the same..  but not soccer with the biggest field  lets have 1 dude run for his life for the longest time period and a couple dudes on the side try to keep up with sprinters..
