FIFA considered using arbitration support technology

After a series of controversies about the referee's wrong decision in the 2010 World Cup, many players and professionals demand the use of 'golf bar' technology in professional and important matches.

The believers of the school of prayer can probably not forget the decisions of the kings of the grass at the match of the World Cup 2010.

In the Argentina-Chile match, Argentina striker Carlos Tevez was clearly in the offside position when scoring the opening goal. Or before that, in the English-German match, Lampard's ball completely went into the goal but was rejected by the referee and assistants after the ball bounced out.

Lampard's ball went completely into the goal but was not recognized by the referee and his assistants.

Football lovers as well as media all feel disgruntled by the referee. FIFA apologized for the wrong decisions but did not change the outcome of the match.

Paul Hawkins, director of Hawk-Eye Innovations (UK), said: 'These decisions have reduced the quality of the game significantly.'

Paul's company is one of two competitors in making a technical solution called 'deciding the course' to determine whether the shot has crossed the goal line to be able to calculate a valid goal. .

His Hawk Eye Company has won contracts in other sports such as cricket, tennis and even billiards snooker. His product works on a high-speed camera system to track the flight journey of the ball. Then, by the technique of image resolution obtained by computers, the system will determine whether the ball has entered golf or not.

Techniques of high-speed camera The Hawk Eye is used in tennis.

Currently, in tennis matches, when coaches, players or referees argue about a decision, they can seek accurate advice from the Hawk Eye monitor to make a decision.

Besides the above line engineering system, another solution is to insert chips into the ball, an ADIDAS solution called 'smart ball'.

This solution of Adidas is quite different from the system of Hawks Eye. A small chip is inserted into the ball and reinforced to counteract the external impact, no matter how strong the player is.

Besides adjusting the ball, another requirement is to change the whole field. Before the match, two small devices with magnetic fields will be placed below the restricted area and goal.

The balls are attached chip inside and reinforced firmly.

The sensors will identify and transmit data to another computer to process and decide whether the ball is crossing the line or not. In just a few moments, the information transmitted from the computer to the referee's wristwatch announces the valid goal.

Oliver Braun, the marketing director, said: 'The announcement of the goal is valid or not required to be transmitted immediately from the system to the referee and the signal to ensure safety. We are investing millions of euros in this technique. FIFA says that if we can meet the requirements, they will use '.

He added that the tests conducted at the FIFA U17 tournament held in Peru in 2005 were successful.

Recently, Mr. Sepp Blatter, FIFA president explained, football is a humanistic game, so it cannot be based on technology to run. People will be the only person to 'play, run and control the game'. Mr. Sepp Blatter refers to all mistakes, because they are all human factors.

However, after recent arbitration scandals, Blatter thought about: 'After the obvious facts at this World Cup, there is nothing to think about when re-applying the' golf bar 'technology. FIFA will consider this issue after the World Cup ends. '
