Blatter :Goal-line technology is coming

FIFA president Sepp Blatter claims goal-line technology is coming and it is only a matter of time before it is introduced. Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the under-fire world football supremo vowed to bring technology into the game, just as it is used in many other sports, notably rugby and cricket. “Definitely. We’re experimenting with technology on the phantom goal, the International Board will decide on it in March,” he said. “We’re for it, the important thing is that the system is immediate, reliable and uncomplicated. “We’ll do it. FIFA cannot accept a repeat of what happened in South Africa when a ball was 70cm over the line and was ruled out.” That was a reference to Frank Lampard’s strike against Germany in the last 16 that clearly crossed the line but was not given.
