Goal?

.
It is for debate whether the disallowed goal in the England v Germany match would have made any difference to the end result, but already there are increasing calls for technology to be used to monitor goal lines in the same way that it is already used in other sports.

Cameras are one option that has been suggested. Another is to install a chip in the ball which will react with sensors behind goal lines. Of course, if there is mistrust of technology for this particular sport, there is a much simpler and possibly less expensive solution.

That is to appoint a couple of junior or trainee referees just to keep watch over goal lines in major tournaments. But they would need to have perfect vision!
