A new study finds that more than one in four calls is dead wrong

Werner Helsen, a kinesiologist at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium, recently led a team of researchers that looked at video replays of all the offsides during the 2002 World Cup, including offsides that weren't called. The results were sobering: The call on the field was dead wrong 26.2 per cent of the time. The refs, in other words, blew a little more than one in every four calls.
