The point is that you would not need a video replay to tell if the ball had crossed the line: you could use the same sort of technology as tennis.
FIFA is right that there are major problems with allowing video replays, but in this, most important case, there are other, better, technological solutions. |

They won't allow video replay / goal line technology even if the final is a penalty shoot-out and .....
..... one team lose to a penalty over the line and the other team has a penalty over the line allowed. Its Sepp Blatter. He's the man. You have to wait until he is dead. |

perhaps if both teams werr allowed 3 challenges to any decisions as in tennis we would get things right.this isnt sour grapes as we lost because we deserved to lose.a 30 seconds stop in play to review thye decisions would add no more than 3 minutes to the game(if both teams used all 3 challenges in a game)earlier in the tourney kake was sent off cos 0f the other guys pathetic cheating, this woulda bin put right straightawy with kaka staying on the pitch and the other guy getting booked.

If England,Brazil,Argentina,Germany,Italy and Holland tell Blatter they will NOT enter the next World Cup until goal line cameras are used he'd agree within 60 seconds , just do it.

I do think that you'll fundamentally change the nature and flow of a football game for the worse if you take away responsibility from referees on things like offsides, penalty decsions etc, so I do see where Blatter is coming from.
However, for something as fundamental as whether the ball crossed the goal line or not, it has to be a no brainer. |
