Sometimes a penalty kick might be inappropriate as it seems to punish the wrong side...serious debate needs to be had before 2014, maybe even in time for 2012 European champs.
Do you mean like a penalty goal (like a penalty try in rugby) for the handling on the line type of thing?

An very mediorce World Cup on the pitch, but good for South Africa as a country (and Africa in general), maybe?
maybe not so good for the poor people who had their possessions burnt and their homes demolished by private security firms (Red Ants?)in order to 'clean up' the areas surrounding the stadiums so that tourists didn't have to see anything scruffy.

tbh the world cup should ever have gone there in the first place. it has cost many people their homes and possessions. that just wouldn't happen in a normal country.
exactly
i can't believe that the tournament was allowed to go ahead. the ban on local vendors plying their trade is nothing short of abysmal

I think so. I've always been against any reform as the game should flow as naturally as possible, but I think things have evolved and tactics have changed and the rules are being manipulated to their extremes. Incidents where cheating has prospered just project a message that says 'win at all costs' which really isn't what any sport should be about, especially our national game.
The referees and officials should, with the aid of technology, have absolute power in a game. As it stands the players have too much power in swinging important decisions by acting or by pressure on the ref. Take that away from them and all they can do is play the best football they can manage.
