Four Paragraphs Lékan King

When your favorite world class soccer player is running down the flank of the soccer field, makes a good play to his teammate and his teammate had an opportunity to scores a spectacular goal; but the player on the opposite team blows that chance by using his hands, and the referee doesn’t see it? That’s when instant replay comes handy. The referee’s job is to enforce the law of the game and has to make all the right calls but some times is decisions are wrong. A referee can’t see what’s happing 45 yards out when a player fowls a player on the opposite team. So how would Instant replay help the referee in a soccer match, it would help the referee by looking over the play and see what kind of mistake he made in that play.

But there are many soccer fans and officials that think this idea is outrageous like Joseph Blater the Fifa president,“ Fifa is the international governing body of association football (fifa).” "Football is not tennis," said Blatter. "There is a big difference between the two sports. In tennis, there is only one dimension, which is the line. Football has three dimensions. It has been tested in England that even with seven cameras, it still difficult to assess if the ball has crossed the line. Therefore, let us let football be football where human errors are part of the human sport (Dinan)." Like I said before in my earlier statement the president isn’t to keen on having Instant replay, it seems like he thinks it’s pointless and a waste of time and money. There are many others that think instant replay is a bad idea to bring into the game of soccer and they think it will ruin the game of soccer and disgrace the referees on all their mistakes they have made during the stretch of the game. “If a camera sees a situation differently or sees a foul the referee did not see, the game has to go on,'' said Hermann Neuberger, chairman of FIFA's organizing committee. We cannot heat up the atmosphere against the referee and destroy the match (JANOFSKY). Within this process of making instant replay and the proff of how instant replay can help the game of soccer these tops officials have to consider instant replay technology in soccer. There is a system called telebeam this system got developed four years ago at a network, RAI. They applied computer technology to videotapes, making it ten times better then regular video technologies in any other sport. Telebeam would help the game of soccer by putting cameras at any desire angle to check the correctness of the call on the field. Later on, about two years later Fifa later considered the technology of RAI because of all the evidence of excellent technology put in to the video technology. Since fifa like the Idea of RAI’s video technology they sent it over to England to study methods they would have to take to install video technology. But a couple years later the plan didn’t fall through. So we are still here to this day still wanting Video technology in soccer so referees can make the right decisions.
