It doesn't happen every few minutes.  In fact, I don't think it's happened at all in the last several weeks I've watched.  If you challenge -- and I think you're limited to one challenge per half -- and the call on the field is upheld, you're penalized by losing a timeout (so you'd better be pretty sure it'll be overturned).

I'm not saying FIFA should allow it as much as American football.  That'd be stupid.  But missing a call like this is pretty outrageous, and I think you could have a review rule that wouldn't interfere with the game too much.

It's that rare? Sorry, I was misinformed.

If you challenge -- and I think you're limited to one challenge per half

That would definitely not be enough in football.

Well, you'd keep your right to an appeal if vindicated of course.
