How do we do it?



In tennis a player can challenge a call and computer and video replay verify the call. Each player is allowed to challenge three times per set. If the call was incorrect, then the challenge is not deducted from their allotted three chances. If the original was correct, then the player only has two more chances.
In soccer this can be instituted on certain calls where a team feels that it has the capability to change the outcome of the game. In this way it is up to the players' discretion and judgment whether they want to challenge the call or not. This could be very critical on goals that were not counted or on penalty kicks.

  1. What kind of rules for stopping the game to review would there be? I agree it would be nice, but nobody wants to stop the game for a few minutes while they go over to the camera and watch replays, that just isn't how soccer works so if there is a good way to not have it disrupt the game, this is a great idea.
