I am German and have lived in England and in neither country I have seen a lot of enthusiasm for video refs or more severe penalties. Generally, people enjoy the unpredictability of the game.

In german and english leagues the cheating is not so prevalent.

However, what you say might still be true, they really do not care about the cheating that affects the game so much.

I am just trying to help you understand why soccer will not be big in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.
