Such mistakes are balanced, because each team benefits from them in one game, but is disadvantaged the next time. It's simply part of the game and adds emotional impact.
For example, the second English "goal" yesterday was the revenge for the wrong decision at Wembley.
(but yesterday, Germany would have won anyway)

They say it balances out, but I wonder if it's really true.
Some people say that decisions shouldn't matter too much - the only result is the end result. If you get a bad decision, then it's bad luck for your team. I don't know if I can totally agree with that.

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

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 . . .
