Good stuff. I agree more refs is probably the only answer. Hawkeye might work on the rare occasion of an England-Germany situation but that could probably only be implemented in the biggest tournaments. A more off-the-wall suggestion would be to add an additional center referee. One stays in each half. They stay fresher and there's an extra set of eyes. The only major problem I see is two whistles on the field. One blows it for a foul, the other waves the "get up" motion. They cant really stop the game and converse - maybe it's not doable. Goalline referees at international competition seems like the minimum at this point. I don't think another WC marred like this one was would be a good thing.
