re: Handball practically in the goal

i'm just not comfortable with a referee having the ability to directly affect the scoreline by penalizing the offending team.

with 360 degree, high def camera coverage for replays, sure, but not right now in my opinion.

I agree. This is the crux of the matter. Ghana got fricked out of a legit game-winning goal by someone illegally interfering with the play and were rewarded with a less-than-perfect penalty kick. Even so, putting the power to award goals in the hands of referees would not be a good thing at this point.
