They should put a warning stating that the rules in the game are free of human error and that outdated FIFA rules do not apply to this game (hello Uruguay's hand ball with one game suspension and elimination of the real winner!)

???????????????????????????????????

 

FIFA is investigating SUAREZ's handball and there can't be better rules

FIFA only gave Suarez one game suspension and that hand ball should be counted as a goal. The outdated rules of FIFA don't  allow for that. In fact, I love how Suarez in an interview admitted that although he knew the handball was wrong, it was the best decision of his life. 

It's funny that you call FIFA rules outdated, when there have been glaring human errors due to excruciatingly bad interpretations of the rules in other major sports too: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5455084/human_error_the_ten_biggest_blown_calls_pg4.html?cat=14

And this one, in particular, was laughable from the umpire's side:  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/06/03/sportsline/main6543410.shtml

Well, what do you know? I guess MLB has outdated rules as well huh? 

OT - That cover looks pretty meh, but I never was a fan of FIFA covers to begin with.

Yea, but you know the difference? In Football, you at least are given 2 challenges per game. In soccer, you're not awarded anything. In basketball, you take the ball out of a legit score and it is called goal tending. You are awarded points for goal tending. In football, they take championships/trophies away from cheaters, in soccer they do not. And MLB IS outdated as hell, but not as bad as soccer.
