After the farce of Frank Lampard's disallowed goal for England, that so obviously crossed the line as everybody watching on TV and most people in the stadium realised, with the match finely balanced at 2-1 to Germany, and England's consequent defeat 4-1 (with England committing more players forward preceeding Germany's last two goals in search of an equaliser), I set up a group at Facebook to exert pressure for technology to be brought in that determines if a ball has crossed the line.
One of the pundits at half time on the BBC1 coverage of the match said everybody (probably not literally) agreed on bringing in such technology, except for FIFA president Sepp Blatter. He is responsible for this farce and should be sacked, particularly if he remains so obstinate afterwards.
Somebody on the group has suggested a video referee, which is also a good solution (that could have made a difference with Tevez's offside goal in the Argentina-Mexico match too). Come to the group and join the debate!
You can find the group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=133017933385075.
I decided to boycott the rest of the World Cup finals after this farce (although missing Ghana matches will be hard since I wanted an African team to do well from the start).
