Soccer is poised to finally end its long resistance to modern technology by implementing a ground-breaking new system designed to eradicate unfair goal-line decisions.
Following a weekend that saw yet another high-profile match influenced by a refereeing mistake, international governing body FIFA will push ahead with plans to test and then introduce new technology that uses missile-grade precision sensors or a magnetic field to assist the officials.
I honestly think this is a brilliant move, but it's funny how so many people online are against it and are asking them to remove this.
Technology can only being good & justice to the game.
They should do what the NHL does. Have a camera inside the net. And have a "war room" or headquarters of people watching games.
For example, in the FA in England every Saturday and Sunday or whenever games take place there would be 6-7 guys watching the games in the war room. If there is a questionable goal, the war room is already watching it over and over on the camera inside the net. Then all the ref needs to do is go to the tunnel and get the call. It would take 2 minutes max, about the same time a diver sits on the ground 8 times a game.
And they need to start handing out suspensions and fines to divers, even if a penalty or yellow was called/given out.
This sport would be on the right track if these things were done.
