P.S. How can soccer get by with one official on the field of a sometimes rough game with no stops when Football has maybe 4 or 5 guys to call the game and they get to have their little huddle after every call?

That's why when I get too old to referee soccer; I intend to take up football...maybe even basketball.
Actually CecilOne and I have had this discussion before, on another board. I suspect that officials are not expected to call everything that happens on the soccer field. The laws of the game are specific that we are not to call trifling fouls and on other fouls we have the choice of recognizing the foul and allowing play to continue because the fouled team gains an advantage.
