It’s safe to say that everyone has been swept away by the World Cup this year. From the epic highs to the crushing lows, it’s all everyone has been talking about. For the second time, the World Cup is being played in Brazil from the 12^th of June to the 13^th of July, it won’t be long until it reaches its nail biting conclusion and winner predictions are already being made.

The exciting thing about the 2014 FIFA World Cup is that it’s the first one to be played with Goal Line technology, ever! This means that the referees will have access to electronic devices which will help determine if the ball has fully crossed the finish line, showing whether or not a goal has been scored. This will be a very useful addition to the game considering all the mistakes that have been made in the past. It’s already had to be used once during the 2014 tournament, on June 15^th, for France’s second goal against Honduras, during the group stages.

This championship has been running every four years since 1930 (except in 1942 and 1946 when the competition was put on hold due to the Second World War), so it’s surprising that this technology has only just been introduced. The nineteen World Cup tournaments that have taken place so far; have been won by eight different countries. The host country Brazil, has won five times, Italy four, Argentina and Uruguay two. England, France and Spain have each won once. The England final match against West Germany in 1966 being the one that contained the most goal controversy in the World Cup. England’s third goal hit the underside of the cross bar and bounced down on the line. Due to language and communication issues, the Swiss referee awarded the goal, much to the distain of many. According to the laws of the game, the definition of a goal is when “the whole ball passes over the goal line.” It seems Goal Line technology would have been very useful in that situation!
