I believe NCAA has a fourth official as well.

I do realize soccer is a different game than others but this argument doesn't seem valid to me. There are numerous other sports that have figured out a way to utilize multiple officials and give them an equal (or nearly equal) jurisdiction on the field/court.
I understand in certain areas in the US, high school soccer is officiated by two and three officials whom all have whistles and responsibility for calling fouls, etc. Soccer has the challenge of having to have coverage for offside infractions but I wonder if there is a better way?
