Joey Crawford supports challenge systems in sports for holding officials accountable and improving decision-making.
The ongoing discussions regarding future structural changes to the game, such as the introduction of new tournaments (eg. Fifa Club World Cup), further intensify this challenge. These changes have the potential to significantly reduce the downtime available to elite players, affecting their recovery and overall well-being.
Sweden secured their World Cup spot with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Poland, thanks to Viktor Gyokeres' late goal, following earlier strikes from Anthony Elanga and Gustaf Lagerbielke.
The idea that the Automated Balls and Strikes challenge system is going to constantly humiliate umpires is, to me, a ridiculous concern. We're talking about hundreds of calls in a game, with upwards of 100 games per week, and 99.9% of the time, ABS doesn't even factor into a pitch at all.
