Four years too late!
FIFA: 2014 World Cup will see goal-line technology
OVER THE LINE ... but Frank Lampard's goal did not stand against Germany in 2010
FIFA have confirmed goal-line technology will be used during the 2014 World Cup.
It means dodgy decisions — like Frank Lampard's disallowed effort in England's last 16 defeat to Germany in the 2010 tournament — should be a thing of the past.A system was trialled at the Club World Cup in December, and FIFA will now roll it out for this summer’s Confederations Cup before the big one in Brazil next year.
FIFA said in a statement: “The aim is to use goal-line technology in order to support the match officials and to install a system in all stadia, pending the successful installation, and pre-match referee tests.”
Rival systems Hawk-Eye and GoalRef have already been approved by FIFA approval and will vie, along with others, for the World Cup gig.
FIFA will choose their preferred provider in early April.
