Derek21 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Why isn't it used? France got screwed today out of a 2nd goal against Korea. They were leading 1-0 when a kick was stopped by the Korean goalie. But replays showed the ball was over the line. And of course nothing was done. Unbelievable. And the game resulted in a 1-1 tie eventually. France has a legit beef. Anyway, I don't understand why this hasn't come up. Unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Mostly because of purism and tradition and due to the fact that soccer is played in many poor countries and they would not be able to afford the technology needed since most leagues must be governed by the same rules of FIFA (with some exceptions) There is talk of a ball with a chip inside that would warn any time it crossed a goal line but again the money involved has not made that a reality. If you follow soccer that goal not called is no surprise - off sides, hand balls and penalty shots called/not called are more common.

Derek21 Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Ah. Interesting points Diablo. They really need to consider something that would detect that a ball crossed the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 The cheapest answer would be adding more linesman/refs ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteyNice Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Soccer can't even afford a separate time keeper, goal judges are out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moustic Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 referee mistakes are a part of the game... You must go with it It's sometimes boring, but it's human... it's a human fault. Sometimes I'm for a "instant replay"... most of the time, i'm against a Elite soccer (All player in the world must have the same rule !) Anyway... lucky for me, i'm not die hard french team fan (but this year, I like this time) Two games and two HUGE ref' mistake ! France can have 6 points and be qualified... and they are on the way to be eliminate quickly (they don't deserve the 6 points... 4 at least... but some other team doesn't deserve to be qualify and they are - Portugal for example.. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Soccer can't even afford a separate time keeper, goal judges are out of the question.
