Is it a good idea to review something subjective? For example De Rossi. I'm sure there are people out there that thought he got tripped or just fell down.
Even the announcer on CBC upon seeing the replay was like "oh, did he get clipped there!?" What if one of these people are the reviewer?
It would be harder in hockey since players are on skates and can I think lose balance easier than land. I think referees in this World Cup so far have done a good job not being conned. Dives, like the De Rossi one are just plain ignored.
