They should put a warning stating that the rules in the game are free of human error and that outdated FIFA rules do not apply to this game (hello Uruguay's hand ball with one game suspension and elimination of the real winner!)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 The outdated rules of FIFA don't allow for that.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It's funny that you call FIFA rules outdated, when there have been glaring human errors due to excruciatingly bad interpretations of the rules in other major sports too: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 I guess MLB has outdated rules as well huh?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 And MLB IS outdated as hell, but not as bad as soccer.

I'm not saying that FIFA shouldn't review the rules, at least when it comes to implementation of technological means to avoid situations like the England goal or Argentina's offside, but to consider them to be completely outdated is also a bit farfetched.
On basketball the goal tending rule exists, because it's a high scoring sport. Two or three point lead is nothing in basketball. On American Football, 6 or 7 point lead isn't much. In Football, one goal lead can pretty much dictate the final score of the game. So those type of rules wouldn't make Football that much fair. For that we already have the red cards and penalty, which is in 90% of the cases, an instant goal.
Cheating is cheating, on every sport. And every athlete who lacks sportsmanship will take advantage of the rules by bending them as far as they can. The same goes for refs, umpires, etc. To single out the mistakes of football while discarding the errors of other sports, which in some cases are far worse than Football ones, is an unfair look at Football.
