The main purpose of this study was to elaborate a comparative reflection between the national and international literature with regard to research involving refereeing in football and manifestations of violence. Moreover, we observe the 2010 World Cup in order to illustrate with a flagship competition. Four questions sought to guide our reflections: (1) what are the tensions that still contribute to violent incidents happen in the "four lines" of football? (2) Does the fallibility of refereeing in football is a cultural issue, or is human and universal aspects presented in this case? (3) The research is related to reality or not? (4) For where point the trends of research? We highlight two conclusions among others: (a) the errors identified by the research suggest to us that they have universal characteristics. That is, both occurring in national competitions, as in international competitions, (b) we can infer that the polls point to search for a hybrid approach that merges the quantitative approach with qualitative in order to minimize unrealistic interpretations.
