World football supremo Joseph Blatter expects goal-line technology to be in place for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
|||Paris – World football supremo Joseph Blatter expects goal-line technology to be in place for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
“I believe we will have a system in 2012 which allows us to say whether it was a goal or not. And this system will then be introduced for the 2014 World Cup,” Blatter said in an interview with French TF1 television broadcast on Sunday.
The ruling body Fifa has been reluctant to bring modern technology into football to help referees.
But the issue is being re-assessed since a clear England goal in the round of 16 match with Germany at the 2010 World Cup was not given by match officials.
“To avoid what the English have (named) a flagrant injustice, the discussion had to be re-opened, and that is what we did,” Blatter told TF1.
A growing number of players, referees and officials are calling for technology in football to determine whether the ball has crossed the goalline or not, via video evidence or a chip in the ball. – Sapa-dpa
