By Julien Pretot ROISSY, France (Reuters) - FIFA president Gianni Infantino is hoping video replays will be used at the 2018 World Cup in Russia to help referees avoid serious mistakes during the tournament. Speaking to reporters after the first executive summit of the world governing body on Wednesday, he said video replays could help with decisions on penalties, goals and red cards. "It will not answer all the questions a referee can have but it will help them not to make serious mistakes," Infantino said at the regional gathering of FAs.
