If we've learned anything from the soccer world in recent days it is this: the time is nigh for soccer to utilize video review to assist referees. I would argue the time was nigh a quarter century ago, but even great ideas sometimes take awhile to reach critical mass. Well, surely the masses are finding the situation pretty darn critical now. Just ask Barcelona fans about Wednesday's Champs League quarterfinal second leg versus Atletico Madrid, or New England Revolution fans about last Saturday's draw versus Toronto. Those are just a couple examples from the last week alone. How many more grievous "hand[s] of Gaul" will it take to rattle awake the soccer establishment that for big, game-changing referee decisions, justice can usually be served with minimal video review help.
