Do you actually buy Sepp Blatter's apology for the referee-ing mistakes at World Cup 2010?

Sepp Blatter recently came out to apologize for the poor officiating mistakes which cost England a equalizer against Germany and which allowed Carlos Tevez to score an offside goal against Mexico. Now Blatter says that "goal-line technology will be considered" at the next FIFA board meeting.



Now let me tell you that nothing will change. As long as Blatter is in charge of FIFA we will never have goal-line technology. Here's why. Firstly, in his statement, Blatter cleverly said that it will be considered. Now, if you follow football, you would know that this isn't the first time he has said that (eventhough now it is getting all the media attention -%26gt; England). He has said numerous times before with FIFA not doing anything. The reason is simple: Money. Now with goal-line technology, the top European, Asian leagues and MLS will obviuosly be able to easily implement the technology. However, the smaller leagues from the poorer associations will be coming to FIFA to ask them to help out as it's their job as governing body. Note that FIFA made $2 billion in the last financial year so it's not like it's going to kill them. That's the truth. Blatter and Co. are protecting the profits and the their bonuses. Not this "keeping it human" crap.And there have been allegations of corruption at FIFA ever since Germany 06 pertaining to bribes, vote rigging and kickbacks.



So do you actually buy his apology?Do you actually buy Sepp Blatter's apology for the referee-ing mistakes at World Cup 2010?
Nope, I'm done with WCs unless they implement video replay.Do you actually buy Sepp Blatter's apology for the referee-ing mistakes at World Cup 2010?
The main reason for FIFA to refuse technology is to maintain the game's composure by not interrupting the game while officials review the play. While games like American football, Basketball can be halted by freezing the time, There is no such provision in soccer where the game time continues to tick irrespective of any event. But this argument of maintaining the game's composure may be flawed as most review decisions can be taken fairly quickly and will hardly impact the game's composure. Eventually though FIFA will embrace technology as the current officials retire and will be replaced by newer tech savy individuals. But till that happens Soccer will continue to suffer through human mistakes at such major events. The sooner FIFA embraces technology the better.
