Pele: World Cup refs very, very poor

"But...I think the refereeing has been very, very poor. FIFA should pay attention in the future and in the next games."

But if they do, Korea will want their money back.

Pele, who has an advisory role with FIFA, said world soccer's governing body was discussing the use of television replays in making decisions on the field, as well as the penalising players by taking them out of the match for a certain amount of time as in the game of hockey.

Yeah, baby, they're going to do it NFL-style with replays. I wonder if they'll also give the coaches an alloted amount of challenges to calls, with refs looking at the TV replay to check themselves. I think replays will reduce the amount of flopping and indiscriminate red card-throwing that seems to go on too often in the game.
