Goal-line technology good in theme but poor in officiating

In the 2014 World Cup, it has been noticed that the performance of the referees is fantastically well as it should be. Some of the decisions have been taken quite abominable so far. Such as, a World Cup soccer match between Brazil and Croatia in the opening game of the tournament has bee damaged by Japanese referee blunders and on the other the controversy has been raised while Cameroon's a couple of off-side goals were given by Colombian referee in its Mexico's match with Cameroon.

Thankfully, Mexico went on to win the match regardless. Unfortunately a number of matches of the tournament have been blemished by some dubious officiating decisions so far. Soccer world cup is one of the biggest sporting events on earth, FIFA needs to take great care to select only the brightest and best officials to take the field.

However, it's really appreciated when FIFA introduced goal-line technology in this 2014 World Cup for the first time. The debate about introducing goal-line technology to assist match officials was being treated a central issue when FIFA ruled out introducing the sort of goal-line technology in last world cup 2010. Modern video technology has changed almost the entire world in many ways and sports are no exception.

Like any other major world sport, football is one among them and it has experienced several revolutionary changes in recent years. And it will now change more for appearing video technology to assist match officials as well as FIFA officials. Moreover, introducing goal-line technology will insert a new dimension to this game that requires high precious skills by players.

More, on the topic of introducing video-technology to assist referees in matches becomes more obvious for every wrongly given goal. Such mistakes can have a huge crash on the overall result of soccer games.

Video or TV replays should be available for match officials to review particularly around the goal. With this, if the referee had any doubt about whether it was a goal or not then they can call for a TV replay or alternatively have an assistant at hand who does so. The same could be said for penalty box incidents, and perhaps off-side calls.

Admittedly, referees may have to be careful not to overuse for the most minor things such as free-kicks, throw-ins, and corners. However, to decide on whether to give a goal or not then technology should be at hand. So, this is what FIFA really should do.

This is not all. The video technology will not only assist referees but able to develop a relationship a lot quicker by using quality video from the start of the game. And this technology will be utilized further by the FIFA in the best possible way so that football can be lifted to new heights at all levels.
