The England v Germany match today was yet another excuse to get goal line technology into football. A clear goal from Frank Lampard was disallowed, it would have been the goal that would have surely have given England the edge going into the second half.
The linesmen standing at opposite sides of the goals helped to even spot fouls in the box from both teams and advise the referee on important decisions, but neither officials could have been blamed for missing the crucial decision, the linesman was 19 yards away from the goal line and referee was unsighted.
This isn’t the first time a crucial decision has been made incorrectly, Chelsea suffered in the Champions League, in 2009 against Barcelona, Chelsea were denied four perfectly good penalties. And against Liverpool in 2004, William Gallas cleared the ball clearly off the line but the referee decided that it was a goal. I think unless a new FIFA president is elected we will still have to bare with contentious decisions.
