Since the introduction of the goal Line technology by the world governing football body FIFA, in the 2014 World Cup, there has been more controversy by fans, on acceptance of certain goals in matches.
For some, they feel that their team was either denied of a particular goal or made to accept a goal that is NO GOAL. However, attempt is being made though this medium, to clarify certain issues.
Goal line technology is a system in which 14 cameras are installed around the rim of a stadium, with 7 cameras targeted on each goal post, while they are connected to a central main frame which analyses each shot on goal. When the match ball crosses the goal line, the referee will feel a vibration on a special wrist watch which he is wearing and receive a visual sign stating "GOAL".
In the absence of goal line technology, what determines a goal is when the ball must have crossed the goal line. The ball must not have any association with the line otherwise it is "NO GOAL".
