English term

snuff the spark

English to Italian Marketing Advertising / Public Relations automobili
Just think of recent World Cup furores. Thierry’s Henry’s double handball before the goal that sent France through to the 2010 finals at Ireland’s expense. Three yellow cards – rather than one yellow, then a red – farcically shown to Josip Šimunić in the Croatia/Australia clash at the 2006 finals. Diego Maradona’s infamous ‘hand of god’ goal against England in 1986.

Should such incidents happen today, video, GLT and other electronic wizardry would instantly help the referee make the ‘right’ decision – effectively snuffing the spark for billions of fans’ debates, texts and tweets. And ridding the game of the kinds of outrageous fortune that make it such a compelling mirror of life itself.

Si sta parlando dell'uso della tecnologia per l'arbitraggio delle partite di calcio

stroncando sul nascere/mettendo a tacere

Con i nuovi dispositivi l'arbitro è in grado di decidere al meglio sugli episodi dubbi stroncando sul nascere/mettendo a tacere le lamentele/discussioni di miliardi di tifosi.
