It's the Brilliant or Bonkers Worldcup Special! This week Amanda & Dad set out to fix football. The crowd takes over. Dad suggests electrodes in the boots that buzz players left, right or middle. Having viewers at home pick the penalty takers and letting viewers at home overrule the manager's bench. Mark and Amanda pull apart four ways to hand fans real power over a football match. One of them rewards attacking teams. The others might just ruin the game. The Judgement Giraffe decides.
