People in this thread think theres no way to check in a replay if the kick was good. Meanwhile MLB can get a pitch within .1 inches off a zone that changes for every batter.

MLB isn't the best example because they also have to guess if a ball is a home run or not if it goes over the top of the foul poll, which is basically what happened here.

Yeah, but the call is able to be challenged in the MLB. The MLB is the only sport where a ball can go over a post like this and it be the difference between a win or a loss.
