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.

I agree on all points. The reffing has been pretty good so far with ignoring dives. I think that if they were going to implement something like a suspension based on video evidence, it would have to be absolutely certain. If all of the HD, slow motion, multiple angles, etc. can't prove something, they should definitely get the benefit of the doubt.
