What would David Beckham say

What would David Beckham say about whether or not to introduce goal line and decision replay technology into the beautiful game of football/soccer?

This is quite a touchy subject in the footballing world, but very important one, one the FIFA board are trying to decide now. Introducing it into our game today would change the game, change the flow of play, lose the purity, passion, controversy that comes with decision making by the refs and there human error. It could also be the difference between winning the world cup or not. It’s hard to say really, this is a game that I have loved since before I can remember a game that I still love to this day and will still love until the day I die, so why would I change it? You can over anaylize the video after each game, look at each foul, every decision, every foul. At the end of the day you would probably end up equal, some call you get when you shouldn’t, and some call you don’t when you should, but at the stoppages in play and reviewing calls I think will take away from the game in a massive way. Goal line technology on the other should be simple, if the ball crosses the line then it’s a goal, that can be a man with a monitor that gets the replay right after it happens and has the advantage of a 2^nd look. A ball can hit the bar and cross the line but because of the spin, ping right out, just look at our goal in the Germany match at this world cup, to make it level at the half. I could see from the sidelines that it had definitely gone in but a referee, 2 linesman and the 4^th man on the side couldn’t see it, they were the only ones in the stadium that saw it that way. I like to see a similar system of goal line technology that they use in the Ice Hockey over in the States, as soon as ball crosses the line a big alarm goes and there is no messing around. It’s about time that these mistakes were taken away because there are so much riding on games for this to happen and it can be done without stopping the game.
