FIFA changes seeding system based on feeling
December 4 2009
For a long time, FIFA determined seeding for the World Cup by calculating seeding tables that used the combination of performances from previous World Cups, as well as FIFA World Rankings.
It’s better late then never. Nice to have you commenting here. Andre
It’s a shame that Peter Wilson went into media hiding after his retirement. Nowadays the general public believes that Johnny Warren was the captain of the 74 socceroos (no doubt help by the “Captain Socceroos” nickname of Johnny Warren).There’s rumours that the whole captaincy battle has created a rift between Johnny Warren and Peter Wilson.Any truth in that? Anything you can reveal without breaking any trust with him?
Update on the movie
According to a football journalist Jesse Fink. Apparently someone is writing a screenplay about the early socceroos. Let hope that rumour is true as it is fantastic story.

My answer to the referral problem http://www.theroar.com.au/2009/02/15/a-simpler-way-to-reduce-mistakes-from-umpires/
remove umpire referral to 3rd umpire as well as player challenge
Have the umpire adjudicate as normal.
Have the 3rd umpire review every appeal automatically (30 seconds review of every appeal. The 3rd umpire will initiate the review process not the umpire on the pitch so if a mistake is suspected, the 3rd umpire will contact the umpire on the pitch and notify them that they are reviewing the decision) and if there is a clear mistake. The 3rd umpire overule the umpire on the pitch
