David,
I don't agree with that statement at all.
That may be the way it is done in your area, but soccer has a very developed coverage scheme for its referees and certainly both (or all three) are NOT supposed to watching the ball at the same time.
There is not an officiating system on the planet that is not based upon the principle of divide and conquer.
