This blog is about competition. Not just sports, or games, or politics, or economics, or decision-making, or relationships, but possibly about any or all of these things. It will use examples from current events to illustrate broader ideas. Or so I hope. It begins at the start of 2012.

12-06-25 Bad Day at the Office

How else can one describe a situation where a guy's only job is to watch a line and see if the ball crosses it, and then potentially decide an entire tournament by screwing it up?

That's what happened in the Euro 2012 in the Ukraine-England match.  To make matters worse, the bad call helped cause the elimination of the host nation.

Then you have the poor called out on Twitter by the FIFA president himself.  Ouch.

Update 6/24...England go out on penalties...again.  I feel for Joe Hart, wanted him to save Mario's kick :)
