Can anyone explain the theory behind the superwide stance?

I have no problem with the powers that be demanding uniformity in everything from uniforms to mechanics to signals.

And, I make a distinction between a wide stance and a superwide stance.

I do not like the looks of the superwide stance. I think it makes the PU look goofy. And, some of them I've seen clips of clearly struggle to stand back up (but the clips were selected with an agenda, so I don't know how common a problem that is with the superwide stance).

The World Cup is, among other things, a show intended to draw fans. How the game officials look (especially when most sports fans know how an umpire "should" look) I would think would be an issue of some importance. As I said, I think the superwide stance looks goofy.
