After the ghost goal of Frank Lampard in World Cup 2010, there has been a call for technology in soccer to aid referees. The shot of Lampard cannoned off the crossbar and the ball landed about a metre inside the goal-line and the officials were failed to spot the goal.
The infamous incidend of England was against Germany and no one probably wants to see the same again in football.
Apology of Sepp Blatter, FIFA president, was also drawn and now the use of technology is on the way.
Ahead of the Youth Olympic Games football competition inaugural in Singapore recently, Blatter said, “The point of goal-line technology will be brought to an official meeting in October in Cardiff. It is now on the agenda.”
There will be four proposals made in the forthcoming International Football Association Board meeting and those are the Cairos-adidas system, one from an Italian group, the widely-known Hawk-Eye and Swiss watch company Longines.
Blatter added, “My personal opinion of goal-line technology has never changed. I have said that if we have an accurate and simple system, then we will implement, but so far we have not had a simple nor accurate system.”
Blatter will be attending the opening game in the competition in which Iran’s girls will be facing their Turkish counterparts at Jalan Besar Stadium.
