The controvercial disaalowed England goal against Germany at 2010 World Cup
The much awaited goal-line technology will be used at the Fifa Club World Cup in December.
The technology is certain to be given the go-ahead from football’s law makers next week according to sources from the International FA Board (IFAB).
Fifa President Sepp Blatter who had been reluctant in backing the technology finally gave in when the debate was ignited following the disallowed Ukraine goal against England at Euro 2012.
The debate as to whether to employ the use of goal-line technology rose to its peak at the 2010 Fifa World Cup in South Africa when England’s goal against Germany was adjudged not to have crossed the line at the Round of 16 stage.
Several related incidents have happened since, eventually softening Fifa’s stance on the matter.
Thus two systems; the Hawks Eye and GoalRef said to have passed initial exhaustive scientific tests involving extreme weather conditions, from heat, cold, humidity and rain to the satisfaction of the IFAB.
The tests have however fallen short of giving a 100 per cent accurate result on every occasion, but have proved proficient enough to sway those with misgivings.
Rather than provide the final say, the technology will help the referee arrive at the right decision.
The Fifa Club World Cup being hosted in Japan will commence on December 6.
If local team like kotoko can hire a coach with UEFA licence A (Masoud Dramani),why GFA cannot do the thing for the Mighty Black Stars? These kumasi coaches are jokes and they are not capable of heading the Stars.wise up*
They should also use it in Kumasi wen we play Ghana coz come what may, a ball will cross Ghana’s line. kikikikiki….
Good news.it wl help avery one
about time! But you Zambian guys don’t get, do you? Ghana is NOT thinking about Zambia. We are looking far ahead at the likes of Spain, Germany, Brazil and Argentina. Zambia was only a temporary blip, a small fry. Too bad Ghana is your only target. shows how limited you are.
