FIFA still silent on blunders

Johannesburg - FIFA is refusing to comment on mistakes by World Cup match officials that contributed to the second-round elimination of England and Mexico.
FIFA did not send any officials with responsibility for referees to its daily briefing on Monday despite widespread anger and disappointment by fans and players alike over Sunday's errors.
FIFA spokesman Nicolas Maingot faced hostile questioning but said it was "obviously not the place" to debate refereeing errors or the merits of video technology.
Television replays quickly showed that England was denied a clear goal against Germany, while Tevez of Argentina's first goal against Mexico came from a clearly offside position.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter strongly opposes introducing goal line and video technology to help referees.
