That FIFA refs are some evil indoctrinated people who know only one thing . . To suggest that only non-FIFA refs should do NFHS is the type of naivete that people like blue believe, having never truly officiated. Most of realize soccer is a universal game played in variety of flavors and colors, but that its all truly soccer, and the official who's experienced at soccer, particularly FIFA soccer played in more countries and the most popular sport in the world, are the true candidates of any new soccer venue. He'd prefer to take some never-reffed before person, and indoctrinate them with NFHS rules and throw them on the pitch and everything will be just fine. We all know what would happen.
Judgment is often arbitrary and subjective.
The two values are often in direct conflict. The attempt at confusion continues. Actually Rob, I've always maintained that the poor model of Fifa rules turns competent officials into wildly inconsistent bumbling fools. A well organized, logical set of rules, with equitable penalties and consistent principles would fix most refs in a hearbeat. Since the bulk of input is based on fifa laws and ideals, theres still a lot of work to be done.
