It was the last 30 seconds of the final of the world cup, the king of all matches; Spain was leading with an outstanding goal, but was under a lot of defensive pressure, suddenly the ball is lobbed over to Roben, the star of the Duch, he controls the ball and fires an explosive shot into the back of the net. This was victory for sure everyone was ecstatic; this excited state was soon to fade away once they hear the dreadful call of an offside from the referee.
The debate about the need for video technology and replays in football will not elapse without a straight decision, with every offside goal scored, every incorrect call on the goal line and every dive that wins a penalty, the clamor grows stronger, and stronger, this is a debate that divides opinion into many slices, those who support the full introduction of video technology, those who just want a section of it and those who totally deny its inauguration into football. There have been polls and voting all over the football globe but still 60% of people support it fully without a drop of doubt, fear or hesitation. So why shouldn’t it be introduced? Why? Just because the governing bodies don’t accept it, what about what the fans believe. Without fans there is no football, the fans are the fuel and heart of football they live for it support it everyday like family shout for it, cry for it, peoples lives could change after just one match, one goal, one mistake.
Technology is and has always been the basis of improvement in society as a whole from communication to discovery and living, it has always helped and improved. UEFA president Michel Platini quotes
“Eyes have always functioned and have always worked, so I am more in favor of testing the experience of whether the referee there has seen whether the ball went in or not,”

    Honestly, I like to think of baseball as an indefinite chess match, and you can sit there and try to take pieces early in the game or you can let your master plan kind of evolve and if you go out and get these big name pitcher and hitters who are 28-29 in the prime of their career and give them these 7-8 year contracts worth 200 million dollars. Well in that fifth, sixth, seventh year. They start breaking down and you’re paying them 20-30 million dollars a year and you can’t put enough good pieces around a single player to make up for…

    When people analyze and evaluate the history of sports from a technology aspect, the game has tremendously been influenced where gathering content is attainable expeditiously with the click of a mouse. The ability to gather information so rapidly in today’s sports market is something that was unheard of about 15-20 years ago. Furthermore, technology just doesn’t influence sports; it has an impact on everything in society. For example, music has been recorded for over centuries when technology was an afterthought. There were no computers, digital mixing systems or the latest technological equipment available to past musicians during the 1920’s or 1930’s. In addition, the quality of movies that were produced from the beginning of the 20th Century until today has drastically evolved with graphics and special effects enhancements.

    Other professional sports such as basketball, rugby, futsal, and ice hockey have already evolved to deal with these situations. On one hand, some sports already feature video referees and benefit from new technologies.

Nevertheless, the laws of football must evolve in the same way other sports have evolved in recent…
