WWF is the animal protection group. That doesn't really fit with Honduras' image though.

I think he meant WWE, but I get your joke

Just in case anyone needed convincing that goal-line technology is a positive move:

According to ITV commentary, if the current goal average is maintained for the rest of the tournament, this will be the highest-scoring World Cup since 1958.

I know, but I couldn't resist that joke.

Goal-line technology not only shows whether a goal has been scored, but also shows how clueless BBC football commentators are about how the technology works.
The system working as it's supposed to is apparently "controversial" now.

He's the biggest prick in the universe.
Pearce just called one of the French players a 'boat person' as he was originally from Algeria. Isn't that a bit insulting?
If they go back to the studio and give that second goal more than a dismissive glance I'm cancelling my licence fee. YOU HEAR ME YENTOB?
I never thought I'd say this but thank goodness France won that match.
A 3-0 defeat and a red card was the only thing Honduras and their brand of anti-football deserved.
Extraordinary match in so many ways, due to the dreadful Honduras fouling, the goal-line technology usage and slightly confusion, and Jonathan Pearce making an absolute hash of calling it almost from start to finish.
Valbuena had a sparkling match for France tonight.

They'll make a faux controversy out of it just for something to talk about I reckon.

After the 3rd goal I think France kept their distance a bit.
