We don't know yet but information from the FIFA's official website - www.fifa.com shows calls to introduce goal-line technology (GLT) 
have grown louder in recent seasons following a number of high-profile 
incidents, most notably the non-awarding of a goal after Frank Lampard’s
 shot crossed the line in the match between England and Germany at the 
2010 FIFA World Cup™ in Bloemfontein. This incident in 
particular triggered the IFAB to reconsider the introduction of 
goal-line technology in the Laws of the Game, a decision that was 
formalised at the IFAB’s Annual Business Meeting in October 2010. 
The
 objective of goal-line technology is not to replace the role of the 
officials, but rather to support them in their decision-making. The 
technology must provide a clear indication as to whether the ball has 
fully crossed the line, and this information serves the referee in 
taking his final decision. 
The test criteria for goal-line technology systems are based on the following requirements set by the IFAB:
- The goal-line technology applies solely to the goal line and only to determine whether a goal has been scored or not;
- The GLT system must be accurate;
- The indication of whether a goal has been scored must be immediate and automatically confirmed within one second;
- The indication of whether a goal has been scored will be communicated only to the match officials (via the referee’s watch, by vibration and visual signal). So do you think FIFA is right?
