I could disagree more lolExactly. I've coached, played & officiated for like forever. You're talking about a field much larger than an American football field, and there is really only 1 center official to cover all of that and 22 players. (I discount the two sideline officials because they don't really don't do much). This is mostly by design. Soccer is a fluid game and needs to be nearly non stop to be good. By just having one official, for all intents and purposes, the game does not get "over officiated", and the players are allowed to play. (As a player the thing I hate most is a nit picking official who calls too many minor infractions and screws up the flow & chemistry of the game). Subsequently a lot of calls will get missed (sometimes you might end up 50 yards from the play), but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't usually matter. The only thing they really probably need to do, when available, is video review on a goal or possible goal. That's the only real crucial thing, and goals don't happen often. Otherwise, the game works fine as it is with one center official. Any more would ruin the game.
It matters to the team affected by it.
Ask an England fan about the "hand of God" or a German about the World Cup final, or even a Welshman about Joe Jordan's infamous raised arm penalty in a final World Cup qualifier
I totally agree that the game needs to flow, but there is no excuse for some of the refereeing errors you see. There are certain officials who you know are NEVER going to give a penalty against certain teams.
There is so much at stake in some games, not least the monetary side, that allowing simple human error (or maybe not a genuine error) to govern the outcome of something, to paraphrase Shankly is "more important than life or death"
