if you would have read my comments at the beginning...i said a few multiple officials can do well in soccer...if you are one of them...great...but having been paired with many "other" sport officials...IMO most do not...and are you saying fine tuning one's skills/mechanics year round means they are inferior some way in some aspect of the game???...that statement is nonsense...the best soccer officials are year round/dedicated to their sport...do they make mistakes...of course, its human nature...and to say that the officials that are not noticed is a statement by a coach who's team fouls alot is a bad perception...soccer is a 90-minute contact sport that has bodily contact(borderline foul-play from the start to finish) and only the soccer official who FULLY understands the nature of the game in its entirety can be an effective/efficient match referee...again this is not flaming the multiple official who can handle their chosen sports...it is based on my experiences with sub-par officials who only do it for the money...IMO they would be better officiating the other football.
