The missed call that changed it all.
Ever since Frank Lampard's disallowed goal at WC 2010 FIFA has been making an effort to develop and test goal line technology to ensure the English have nothing to complain about when they under-perform again in Brazil at WC 2014. Ha! Who am I kidding? The English will always find something to complain about.
Sepp Blatter and the bureaucratic fools at FIFA have worked quickly to ensure these serious mistakes never happen again. It's shocking that they can move so quickly to make sure technology gets developed but to hell with doing anything real about racism in the game. OK sorry... I'm not even going to step on that soapbox right now. The point is that FIFA have officially come out and said that they will be using the new technology at World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
Via Associated Press:
ZURICH -- FIFA committed Tuesday to using goal-line technology at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and could have four systems competing for selection.
FIFA said it is now seeking tenders from companies which want their system to be used at the Confederations Cup in June and next year's World Cup.
Interested GLT companies will be invited to join an inspection visit to the Confederations Cup venues, currently scheduled for mid-March, with a final decision due to be confirmed in early April," FIFA said in a statement.
