Microchips in Soccer Balls? #30265 06/16/05 04:22 AM

Anonymous Unregistered A	FIFA president Sepp Blatter stated that FIFA is going to try to put microchips inside soccer balls to see if the ball crosses over the goal line. He then says, "We will test the goal-line technology at the FIFA under-17 world championship in Peru. If it works OK, we could introduce the chipped ball at the World Cup 2006." If it works they will use it, only after one real game test? I don't know about this. It is just like using a computer in baseball to tell if a ball is a strike or not. And other sports can also be an example too. But what I really want to know is what are your personal reflections on this Microchip thing in soccer balls? Imagine, possibly in the future of high school soccer the referees getting to use this technology! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/soccer/wires/06/14/2050.ap.soc.fifa.technology.1st.ld.writethru.0398/index.html

Will the ball make some kind of noise or light up when it crosses the line? If there is no "instant notification", then you would have to let play continue until a dead ball and then review the play. What is it's a goal? Do you start with a kickoff and reset the clock? What if there was a card issued during the elapsed time? I do not think that goal vs. non-goal debates are as prevelant as ball vs. strike calls or if a wide reciever bobbled a ball or got both feet down. If Mr. Blatter wants to install microchips in something, put them on players ankles so that referees can tell when a player is fouled from behind. If I'm not mistaken, FIFA says any tackle from behind is an automatic yellow. Exhibit #1 is the foul on Eddie Gaven in the U-20 game last night when he was hacked from behind in the box. However, a German player took a dive earlier and drew a yellow on the US defender.

Maybe they do things differently in the big leagues, though.

If you do this you have to put something in the puck/ball so that the keepers foot or anyones foot or hand doesnt set the buzzer off.

The Voice of Reason, you are mistaken. No where in Law 12 of the Laws of the Game (the fouls and misconduct law) does it mention tackling from behind. That is what referees call Myths of the Game. There are 7 cautionable offenses, and they are as follows. 1. is guilty of unsporting behavior 2. shows dissent by word or action 3. persistently infringes the Laws of the Game 4. delays the restart of play 5. fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner or free kick 6. enters or re-enters the field of play without the referee's permission 7. deliberately leaves the field of play without the referee's permission

Anonymous Unregistered A	Has anybody ever heard of the Marathon where the tried the putting the Micro-chip in the right shoe of every runners shoe? Well the Marathon ended with a photo-finish, but the camera's showed that the one guy one because he crossed the line first, but the Micro-chip said the other guy one because he had his right foot over the line first... Just, ya know, something to think about!
