Goal Line Technology – Video showing its use

FIFA have confirmed that this years confederations cup will use goal line technology provided by GoalControl-4D. This video shows how the technology will work.

To be honest, not inspired at all. The examples shown in the clip dont need technology, what it should show is the ability to report on those really tight decisions.

Pundits knowledge of the laws of the game

Just spotted this on refereeforum.net, what a great example of a lack of basic knowledge with some pundits.  If anyone knows who the pundit is, would be interesting to know how it was recived.  The clip is from the 2010 world cup and the opening game between South Africa and Mexico.

The draw has today taken place for the football competition that forms part of the 2012 london olympics.   I was keen to find out who I would be seeing at the city of Coventry stadium….Mexico vs Gabon get you excited!

With all the talk of the Great Britain side and who it will (or wont more likely) contain.  Its good to see that Great Britain is being represetneted by Mark Clattenberg, Simon Beck and Stephen Child.   I was impressed with   Ravshan Irmatov at the 2010 world cup and he seems to be well respected within FIFA, so maybe a good bet for the final. Infact I expect he may refere the England Great Britain vs Uruguay match.
