Fifa is cracking down on World Cup match action being shown on stadium giant screens after replays of Argentina’s disputed first goal against Mexico fueled arguments on the pitch.
Angry Mexico players protested to referee Roberto Rosetti after the screens in Johannesburg’s Soccer City showed Argentina forward Carlos Tevez was offside before he scored the opening goal in a 3-1 victory on Sunday.
Fifa spokesman Nicolas Maingot says replaying such incidents “should not happen,” and will be more tightly controlled at future matches.
Maingot says Fifa has not yet received feedback about a mass confrontation between coaches and players behind the Mexico bench as the teams left the field at halftime.

IF fifa IS TRYING TO BAN THE USE OF REPLAY ON THE GIANT SCREEN AT THE STADIUM, I SEE IT AS CHEATING AND ROBBERY,AND THAT VIOLATE THE FAIR PLAY THAT FIFA PREACHES.DO THEY KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED THROUGH THOSE STUPID MISTAKES AND CORRECTABLE ERRORS.

This was not happening anymore. I'm speaking under correction here, Even our own PSL does not do it anymore. Why did it happen now? I smell a rat.
Imagine the reaction of the fans, especially if the ref was wrong? That will be chaos.
