The flow of the game changes a lot more when a blatant horrible call is made than it would if the referee had to take 30 seconds to make a call. And there could be limits on it, just like in every other sport. They could give 1 or 2 replays to each coach for the entire game.
There would still be horrible calls (like red cards on flops) but at least goals would have the right call.

In cricket the captain of the team is allowed 3 appeals on a decision, and the umpire has to refer it to the third umpire for television analysis. If the decision is overturned, he keeps his appeal chance, but if the captain referred foolishly, he loses it.
Deciding on a goal isn't really a problem - it seems like yesterday was the first true problem as to whether the ball crossed the line.
The problems seem to be those centered around human error, namely yellow and red cards, and off-sides.

I think there should be retribution for the atrocious World Cup refereeing

There are many red + yellow card decisions that are still unclear after checking TV footage, though

Should only be done for goals. The game already stops for goals, so it wouldnt ruin the flow *NM*

Indeed. Germany played better overall, but were definitely on the back foot end of the first half. *NM*

Apparently there's already very good tech that knows whether a ball is over the line.

If we are going to engage in the game of "may", then we should be fair . . .
