 FIFA (finally) Reconsiders Using Video Technology

The 2010 FIFA World Cup has certainly been one to remember. With it's fair share of upsets, black horses and of course terrible refereeing. Now is the ref truly to blame for your dollars lost, or should FIFA be to blame for refusing to adopt a technology that every other competitive sport on the planet is (including Starcraft) in Video Replay technology?

Now my team went out in a blaze of glory (read, slaughtered by the Germans) on Sunday night, and while that one disallowed goal may have not impacted the final embarrassing scoreline, it begs the question, why oh why hasn't FIFA already used the 4th official for something other than nothing?

Well, apparently FIFA has made an about turn. FIFA's president Sepp Blatter claims they will reconsider the option and that they will take on board again the discussion of including technology in the football field. In his words: "Something has to be changed".

It took the world's largest and most important football competition, tons of human error and a billion vuvuzelas for them to reconsider. Well, either way, England would have been knocked out anyhow.

What do you think? Yay or Nay to goal line and video replay technology?
