3. Problem (Continued)
The referee disallowed Pedro Mendes’s shot which crossed the goal line and should have been a goal
This is a problem which appeared several times in a top flight football game
Examples
Frank Lampard (England Vs Germany WC 2010)
Frank Lampard (Chelsea Vs Tottenham EPL 2011)

4. Solution – Goal Line Technology
A new football with a microchip inside that could send a signal to the referee if the ball has completely passed the goal line or not.
could be linked to the referees watch and could send a signal over to his watch
