NPR had an interesting idea where the substitution ref, who sits around for 88 minutes of the match anyways, would be able to overturn or allow goals for a few minutes after they happen, like in hockey. That way, you just need a few cameras and no new personnel.

They are awful because they drown out people singing and cheering.

I don't feel bad, half of the referees and linesmen should and probably will lose their jobs due to their idiocy.

The USA scored twice but both times were the goals not counted due to offside, which wasn't offside AT ALL.

Today England - Germany, it was 2-1 and England scored a beautiful goal which wasn't counted because apparently the linesman wasn't wearing his glasses at the time. It went over like

Some of them have been making truly awful calls, but sadly at worst they will be demoted. I was more referring to stuff like how the ref you are referring to had to be given bodyguards by FIFA because they were afraid for his safety.

It is a crime, just not an especially grievous one.

A bunch of laws which would make it a crime have been struck down by the courts. The most they can ever make stick is to force them to have some sort of rating on the box, which was pointless because not having your game rated by the ESRB is to sacrifice most of your game sales.

You could go with the amusing unicode route with something like (͡๏̯͡๏)

I feel bad for the referees this cup.

I started around 15, and I think 12 is much too young. Ultimately it's up to the parents. If they ever make stores disobeying ESRB ratings a crime, I wouldn't really have a problem with it, because parents would probably continue ignoring them.

Having been killed a lot by lightning as lurker, I don't have any complaints about the race.

Could you autoslap a lurker who starts defusing without a gun?

If you're CT race and you use the ultimate and die, your spectator self gets an m4.

How about a teamstacking rule instead? I'd rather people be able to play whatever they want and be forced to even the teams.

An automatic thing where the teams are scrambled if a team wins five in a row would work.

If you don't you could do something to remove people who haven't played in more than 3 months (or some other value). That might cut down on the lag without angering old players.
