Goal-line Technology to be reviewed by FIFA


As all things that are meant to be infallible, new technology being used in the 2014 World Cup has caused a stir. The world was relieved when FIFA, staggered into the 20th century and decided to use goal-line technology to automatically detect when a ball crosses the goal line. In many World Cups past, balls that had clearly crossed the line weren't given as goals because the referee or his assistants couldn't be sure.
The goal-control system manufactured by the German had accurately prove that noel Valladares, houndurus goal keeper had actually knocked out the ball,France already leading 1-0, was on the attack. The ball came through to Real Madrid star Karim Benzema. His shot struck a post. As the ball bounced across the face of the goal, still in the field of play, it hit Honduras goalkeeper Noel Valladares and headed into the goal post. Valladares leaned back to scoop the ball. However the goal-control technology signaled to the referee that it was a goal. What caused the confusion was the message appearing on the huge screen that said "no goal" and later said "goal".However FIFA has decided to review this goal.
