All you need is 1 person upstairs watching the game with the ability to instant replay that shit. For example the England goal, he sees it, watches it over 1 time, then contacts the referee on the field through the headset and says to the guy, "Hey, you fucked up that's a goal."
It won't disrupt the flow of the game, only make it used for big calls(offsides, goals), and not for fouls.

I have hard time seeing Holland getting past Brazil in the quarterfinal. This Brazilian team has been built to play on the counter against Spain. This also works very well against other teams that like to keep possession and attack as they don't really know how to play any other way, like Argentina, and Holland too. How Holland has been playing a lot more cautiously this at this tournament so far than usual, but I still think they will play into the hands of Brazil who will catch them on the counter and it will be game over once they score the first goal.
I am not that impressed from what I've seen from Brazil so far this WC, but it is still Brazil.
Both Brazil and Holland can do a lot better then they have showed so far.
We will see.. hopefully it will be a beautiful match to watch either way..
But we first have to get past Slovakia, to be honest I think they are very capable of knocking us out of there today....

The England goal is a extreme case if you got a ref watching the goal line then that would be spotted instant.
For offsides that would never work (the cam). There are to many scenarios for it to fail then to actually be to any help.
You wont catch it on the first that means you have to watch a replay, rewinding a tape and watching it it's not a 5-10 seconds it's at least gone be 50 seconds minimum.
What if and how are you gone handle i.e a situation if the ref calls offside and it wasn't? Are they gone use the cam for all offside situations? That's def gone fuck up the flow. If not all and the ref gone say when to then thats the same as it is now, the possibility of human error is still there.
I think having cams "can" take away the offside problem but create a minimum of 4 others, so i rather have the offside then the others.
I don't know thats just some thoughts I got on it and the way I see it.

I am not impressed by what Brazil have displayed either in terms of quality of play but I didn't expect it to begin with - that's how they have been playing for the last 3 years, and they have won everything they played for in that period with precisely that style. The thing that is impressive is the efficiency in front of goal
