Comments on: Q&A with Marco van Basten http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/qa-with-marco-van-basten.html World Cup 2010 - South Africa, Oranje, Nederlands Elftal, Eredivisie, Marco van Basten, Dutch football, The Netherlands Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:30:06 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: finnster01 http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/qa-with-marco-van-basten.html/comment-page-1#comment-133017 finnster01 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 13:06:58 +0000 http://netherlands.worldcupblog.org/1/qa-with-marco-van-basten.html#comment-133017 I still wonder about that 1966 Geoff Hurst WC Finals goal.... Do you lads think it was in? Personally, I don't think so but why not use technology to avoid these things. I mean if you can detect if a tennis ball is on the line or not, a puck is over the line or not,why shouldn't you be able to figure out whether a melon size object like a football is over the line or not? Certainly a lot better than some old referee or linesman from a country that voted for Blatter with players obstructing their view? I still wonder about that 1966 Geoff Hurst WC Finals goal….

Without an explanation. They tested the system for one year, had four key-conditions that were all met by the supplier of the system and out of the blue, they said: nah, won't do it... The supplier is livid. I read in the Ozzie papers that the FIFA ruled out cameras on the line. Without an explanation.

PSV always get screwed in these draws. I can't remember the last draw that has gone in their favour. Well, if they can knock out Fiorentina, then they'll be well on their way to a final with Bayern Munich... And PSV have gotten Fiorentina in the UEFA Cup. PSV always get screwed in these draws.

NHL and even tennis use cameras. We (football fans) wait four years for a WC or EC and it is really sad when your team loses with a bad referee decision. I heard that FIFA will not apply this measure until further notice so maybe bets are doing something to football. @tjeerd: I agree 100% with you and with Marco on this one.

NHL Hockey and NFL football both use instant replay with great success, FIFA has to get into the 21 Century. I agree with him about the video on the goal line.
